As a non-American it seems they want a very particular reading of certain parts of the US Constitution.

Much like how the same people pick and choose the parts of Christianity that serve them and ignore the parts that don’t.

One nation, under God.*

*Terms and conditions apply.

Funny story, the god part isn't part of the original pledge of allegiance.

If I remember correctly, it was:

I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I feel that the original is the best one (though I feel uncomfortable about people "pledging allegiance" to a flag just because they were born there).
