The pledge of allegiance is stupid. It was made by Francis Bellamy in 1892 when it was published in a youth magazine called Youth's Companion. He persuaded schools to implement the pledge, and more importantly, buy a bunch of flags from him. He sold flags to 26,000 schools. Congress adopted the pledge in 1942, and the words "under god" weren't added until flag day 1954.
The pledge of allegiance isn't mentioned in the constitution and has nothing to do with the history of the United States. It was a scheme created by a salesman to sell flags.
