Clearly, our nation's heritage is deeply rooted in religious principles. This was at the core of our founding fathers' beliefs. Our forefathers took God's Word seriously. They established a nation founded on biblical principles that publicly acknowledged God's headship and providential protection.

Our forefathers left us numerous warnings concerning what would happen if we violated the principles that they had put in place. They warned that our nation's future depended its citizens acknowledging God and submitting to His principles. To do otherwise would result in rampant immorality and deteriorating political prosperity. Finally, they warned this would ultimately lead to a national denial of God's headship and bring with it God's judgment on America and her people.

*These words [“under God”] will remind Americans that despite our great physical strength we must remain humble. They will help us to keep constantly in our minds and hearts the spiritual and moral principles which alone give dignity to man, and upon which our way of life was founded.

1954 - U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs a bill into law that places the words "under God" to the United States' Pledge of Allegiance.
