(7,528 posts)But we came here in the first place to worship how we please. And we can work with people under a different flag.
Metaphorically and philosophically I believe we all worship (or don't) the same "god" in different ways, but I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant.

"Under one god" The catholic version or the protestant version? (like the people under "one god" can agree on anything)
"One American flag" With or without yellow fringe?

(6,129 posts)One of the Nazis' most-repeated political slogans was Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer "One People, One Nation, One Leader". Bendersky says the slogan "left an indelible mark on the minds of most Germans who lived through the Nazi years.
It appeared on countless posters and in publications; it was heard constantly in radio broadcasts and speeches." The slogan emphasized the absolute control of the party over practically every sector of German society and culture with the churches the most notable exception.
Hitler's word was absolute, but he had a narrow range of interest mostly involving diplomacy and the military and so his subordinates interpreted his will to fit their own interests.
