indeed it has - i just looked it up in the wiki... so... in the 50-s there was an anti-communist hysteria with senator McCafney, or McCartney leading the way... anyone objecting to the word GOD would instantly be labeled as a communist, so, it is obvious that there was not much objections to the inclusion of the term...
