In America you swear your allegiance to a piece of fabric, and to support 'one nation under god' despite the fact that America is supposed to be secular...

Reality: These things are actually more based in culture and tradition than law.

Technically, it's to the thing for which the flag is a symbolic representation. One Nation, under God is arguably not an invocation of Christendom, but of deism, or the next biggest fish.

Spot on on the being based more on culture and tradition than law though.
