Comments say he is muslim. But he could still say god and refer to his muslim god?

I get it if you're an atheist or agnostic.

Yup. But we know why he doesnt, because he knows it really means “America’s God”, and he is and always will be an enemy of America.

Are atheists enemies of the state? You could be Buddhist and make the pledge, but it would be a lie mentioning god.

Im athiest lol. Im saying he knows why it was added, he knows it refers to a god of a predominantly Jewish/Christian nation which is why he wont say it. Because its true. It might just say “God” but he knows it wasnt truly added as a pure ambiguous dictionary definition of the word. And lets be real it wasnt. So by saying it he would be admitting a God exists that he is told or believes doesnt exist.

He would be recognizing the legitimacy of rival religions, and deep down, regardless how friendly some people of Islamic faith may be at any given point, their faith IS political. Its not a religion. And all other faiths to islam are the opposition.

Afaik, the god part was added in later. 1954 according to a google search. So technically not there because the founding fathers thought it would help and protect the country.

Ok i get what you're saying. He has a phobia and intolerance to others, but wants his islamic religion accepted. Well the usually double standard bullshit attitude.

In which case his pledge shouldn't count!

Do these people not have the inalienable rights granted by God? Not saying it is spitting on the idea of America itself.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Sorry but you don't know much about religion then. Jews, Christians and Muslims all have the same god. Ask any religious person of any faith.

No we don't, "allah" is a false pagan moon god (it doesn't exist).

LOL, no they don't. From a religious point of view they all have a different god.
