Four words that are easy to say at a ballgame and harder to mean.
Placing a nation under God is a statement about where authority stops. Governments, parties, and leaders are all accountable to something above themselves. That is not a patriotic flourish. It is a restraint, and it is the reason the phrase has always made the powerful slightly uncomfortable.
Understood that way, patriotism is not a competitor to faith. It is something faith is supposed to keep honest.
