Georgia Republican instructs House on proper Pledge of Allegiance technique
Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
The pledge had no reference to a diety until 1954, when Cold War fever saw its inclusion to separate Americans from "godless Communists."

God-talk in the presidential election (or why evangelicals are voting for Barack)
Posted by udamnskippy from Scholarsandrogues
Evangelicals are not fundamentalists; many would resist the idea that they want to impose their worldviews on others. Many are now struggling to figure out how to live in a religiously and culturally plural culture, and Obama’s message not only resonates with their sense of integrity, but it also appeals to their desire to find ways to live together less divisively. I don’t think Barack has a prayer with the fundamentalists. But I think he’s definitely striking a chord among evangelicals.
