Getting political/religious, but the "one nation under god" business was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in the '50s, because of the Red Scare and Joe McCarthy, which ruined many people's lives unnecessarily. Not there in the original Pledge...which was written in in 1892 by a minister named Francis Bellamy, who didn't even put the "god" part in it then! Go figure.
