The "under God" addition to the Pledge of Allegiance is what keeps it in compliance with the First Amendment.

That is fine for you people who believe in one God, more or less. People who believe in none, or many, are deliberately and unconstitutionally left out

No one is left out. The Pledge of Allegiance does not leave anyone out except people who do not care to pledge their devotion to America. "One nation under God" keeps the pledge from establishing a state religion, ala Soviet Union. Recognition of God is not a religion. Atheism is not a religion. No religion is threatened by that inclusion. All are threatened when a nation allows itself to be Supreme.
