It's from the Pledge of Allegiance:

      I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
       and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God,
               indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The "under under" part of course refers to Python's special methods.

IIRC, there's currently a court case to remove the "under God" part.
