Hate to say it, but if you are really peeved enough to make a big deal that your government has an optional pledge that mentions a being you do not believe in, you don't know how lucky you are. don't mean to sound patronising but that's the extent of it.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
