No, 60 years. 62, to be exact. The Pledge was written in 1892, "under God" was added in 1954. And I am well aware of why it was added, to distinguish us from the heathen Commies, Cold War propaganda.
What I was actually asking was for the person I quoted to explain to me why, if traditional Christian values were so core to the country, "under God" was not included when the Pledge was first written.
Also, fun fact, the Pledge was written by a socialist. Cold War propaganda indeed.
