One Nation Under God

America was founded on the principal that we are one nation under God. This saying is part of our pledge of allegance, as well as a firm belief that many people hold dear to their hearts. I have noticed in the past few years that there is a movement to try to get people in our country away from including God in our lives. Prayer was taken out of our schools and certain people have been trying to get the words "In God We Trust" taken off our currency.
I realize that there are many people who worship God differently than I do. I also realize that there are people who do not believe in God at all. All people should be given the opportunity to worship (or not) as they desire. One of the primary reasons the for establishing the United States of America was to move away from the religious restraints in England. Our ancestors moved to America to have the right to practice religion however they wished.
I recently found an article in the national news section of the Salt Lake Tribune that told of a young man who was fired from his job because he refused to remove a button he wore that said, "One Nation Under God." Although I have seen much of this type of thing going on for the last several years (and, sadly, I am no longer shocked), I can't help but wonder what has brought our country to such a place where one can no longer wear a button that states that we are, indeed, one nation under God.
