"On June 13, the Supreme Court ruled against atheist activist Michael Newdow's latest attempt to remove the words 'under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance.
'Not surprisingly, the Supreme Court has again rejected the argument that saying the Pledge of your own free will creates an official state religion,' said attorney Eric Rassbach, litigation director at the religious liberty defense group the Becket Fund.
'The words 'one nation under God' make clear the bedrock American principle that our rights come not from the State, but are endowed by our Creator.'
On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected Newdow's appeal from the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston. Newdow had attempted to halt the ability of schoolchildren in Hanover, New Hampshire from reciting the Pledge voluntarily.
In March, the Supreme Court also rejected Newdow's appeal from a loss in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco."
