A true atheist would insist that nothing happens. You die. It's over. End of story.
You've left a door open here.
Was it on purpose, or subconsciously?

The official meeting of the Republican National Convention (RNC) delegates Monday morning emphasized the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance after a committee and a caucus meeting omitted the words from the pledge during the Democratic National Convention (DNC).


The omission of "under God" from the two relatively minor events sparked a backlash from Republicans, including President Trump, and a flurry of fact-checks pointing out that in the four major broadcasts each night Democrats did use the words "under God." But Republicans have still said the omission by the individual speakers -- there was no party directive on the words -- in the two meetings represents a disrespect Democrats have for people of faith.

"Two Democrat Caucus Meetings removed 'UNDER GOD' from the Pledge of Allegiance. It sounded not only strange, but terrible. That’s where they’re coming from!" Trump tweeted Sunday.

"At the Democrat National Convention, we know that at least two caucuses removed two words -- "under God" -- from the Pledge of Allegiance. We know too that at a previous Democrat convention, a recent one, the word "God" was almost totally removed from their platform. That could not, would not, ever happen here," Peter Goldberg, a delegate from Alaska, said to applause at Republicans' Monday morning meeting before leading the pledge.

"We know as Republicans that America must put its full trust and faith in that God, in order to do so so that every American citizen can have the blessings of security, the opportunity for prosperity and the ability to enjoy all of those freedoms that are enshrined in that divinely inspired document the Constitution of the United States of America."

I get it Dg... I do. I remember when my grandma found out I'm an atheist, she was astonished. Then our family friend and former Episcopal priest (Father Bill... RIP my friend) wasn't too thrilled when he found out, but he understood.

Problem is when you get to my level of understanding of science, religion is no longer compatible with your world view.

It really is that simple.

Bgz, sincerely curious about " your level of understanding of science"
Do you believe absolute truth exists?
(absolute truth: that Which is true for all people all the time)

Excellent, so you know some things to be true to all people everywhere all the time.

An example of a law of logic is the law of non-contradiction. This law states, for instance, that it cannot both be true that my car is in the parking lot and that it is not in the parking lot at the same time, and in the same way.

in earlier times, we were expected to raise our right arm, palm down, towards the flag, after reciting the pledge...that was stopped when we saw too much of the Nazi salute in that part of the ritual

original pledge did not include "under God"

Truth is I already know you believe in universal logic so let's skip that and move onto
Do you believe logic changes?
Keep in mind that the question is not whether or not our perception of logic changes, but whether or not logic itself can change. If you believe that logic changes, then for all you know logic has changed and contradictions are now valid.
