Christian high school student Samantha Jones recently went to court in order to defend her 'unalienable' right to perform the Pledge of Allegiance in its entirety, much to the chagrin of some atheist groups.

Jones is currently a senior who attends the Highland Regional High School in New Jersey who believes the "under God" quote should not be omitted from the iconic American Pledge.

"I've been reciting the Pledge since preschool, and to me the phrase 'one nation under God' sums up the history and values that have made our country great," said Jones, according to a Charisma News report.

"I think it's empowering to know that, no matter what happens, I have some rights the government can never take away. No student should be silenced just because some people disagree with timeless American values."

The Pledge of Allegiance was first adopted by America in 1945 and the famous "under God" words were added to the patriotic oath in 1954 on Flag Day.

Earlier this year, Massachusetts' Supreme Court ruled unanimously to keep "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance after the atheist group American Humanist Association wanted to remove the reference.

Chief Justice Roderick Ireland went ahead an issued a statement after the court universally made its decision to keep the traditional pledge intact.

"Here there is no discriminatory classification for purposes of art. 106 - no differing treatment of any class or classes of students based on their sex, race, color, creed, or national origin. All students are treated alike," wrote Ireland on behalf of the Massachusetts' Supreme Court.

As a result, advocate David Niose spoke on behalf of American Humanist Association and the atheist family who was displeased with the court's ruling on the issue.

"No child should go to public school every day, from kindergarten to grade 12, and be faced with an exercise that portrays his or her religious group as less patriotic," said Niose in a statement.

Ironically, the Pledge of Allegiance was written by the late Baptist minister Francis Julius Bellamy back in 1892.

"The American Humanist Association may be allergic to the word 'God' but that doesn't mean everyone else has to sneeze," said Deputy General Counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty Eric Rassbach in a statement, according to Charisma News.

"The Pledge of Allegiance summarizes our nation's political philosophy; it's not a prayer or a religious creed and it doesn't magically create an official state religion. We're confident that New Jersey's courts will stand against this blatant attempt to censor American values."
