The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a Socialist, and did not originally have the phrase ”Under God” in it. The Pledge is about religious devotion to the State, such that no Christian should say it, nor should it be recited in church in a worship services. Flags in church buildings are equally an abomination.
While I’m on the subject, I would also voice my disagreement with good Reformed men on the subject of sacred space, including Peter Leithart. It is true that space does not become ”magical”, and we should be careful to make that clear. But certain spaces can and should be set apart as holy for the worship of God. To set up such spaces is a mark of civilization resulting from the work of the Holy Spirit and the triumph of the Gospel. It is when you start declaring everything as equally sacred, in a pagan sense of being magical or even literally “god”, that you can know that the glory of God has departed from you.
