Sorry. I prefer the original national motto, "E Pluribus Unum" and the original version of the Pledge which, although written by a minister, did NOT include any reference to a god.
'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'
-- written by Francis Bellamy , a Baptist minister, in August 1892
(maybe he had in mind that the New England Puritans used to
hang Baptists)
"E Pluribus Unum" (out of many, one) -- from the Great Seal of the United States, first used on Sept 16, 1782.
