Justification: By reading the exact doctrines handed to early colonial, students can read and interpret for themselves the interweaving of both political and religious ideas. For example, “Thou shalt grant the King a long life: he shall dwell before God forever (4). The Church of England was a part of the government, which many colonists were fleeing. There are prayers also laid out for the sole purpose of exalting the King of England. It is also important to note that this prayer book was published a mere 20 years before independence.

The first version read, "I Pledge Allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic For Which it Stands, One Nation, Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice For All."
In addition, there has been a growing emphasis placed on equal rights. These two movements have contributed to keeping the argument for same-sex marriage in the forefront. There are people who believe that although progress has been made, Christian values are still an obstacle for the progress that needs to take place and Brittney Baker is one of them. She compares and contrasts the relationship between the religious and gay community’s attitudes towards same-sex marriage. She puts forth rebuttals to many of the typical arguments for prohibiting same-sex marriage.
For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here (Thinking).” Here, Patrick Henry went against the very first Amendment to the Constitution, which asserts, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…(Bill of Rights)” In saying that the United States was indeed founded on the religious practices and morals of Christian life, Henry stood for everything that all the Founding Fathers believed as a whole. Several people would agree with him, saying that the only reason religious freedom is allowed is because those who originally governed the U.S. were good Christian men, and therefore welcomed with open arms any of those who fled to America in pursuit of liberty of religious persecution
It was the action of its forefathers that has allowed the American nation to take its place as a leader in the world today. The Fathers of America came from many religions and faiths, some had no faith, but they all saw the wisdom and morality in the Ten Commandments, and they knew a nation without law would not last or be strong.

The resolve the American fathers had to see the task through, to stay the course, Declare Independence. Draft and sign the Constitution.

This page contains the Pledge of Allegiance. After reading The Pledge of Allegiance by Lloyd G. Douglas, I would ask the students if they think that the Pledge is a promise. “When we say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, do you think that it is a promise we are making?” Vote yes or no by a show of hands. Then transition into making our own pledge. “We are going to work together to create our own pledge to say every morning after we say the Pledge of Allegiance.” Call students by table to move back to their seats.
The Pledge of Allegiance was not written to coerce citizens of the United States. Its purpose was to create a statement of patriotism. Through its words, it states each American citizen’s respect for the republican form of government our Founders instilled, and loyalty to America, a country that is “indivisible.” While the separation of church and state is a key institute in maintaining a fair democratic government, certain traditions such as the Pledge of Allegiance, should be allowed in a society founded on the belief in monotheism. The Pledge was not written to defy the Constitution; rather, it was a statement of secular belief in our nation. Its author had no intention of violating the First Amendment.
