Back when it was first written it didn't have God in it.

Saying the Pledge of Allegiance is totally voluntary, which goes double for "under God". You don't have to say words that you don't want to say. I can tell you from personal experience that sitting down during the Pledge won't even get you in trouble, as long as you do it quietly. I used to do that when I was in high school, because my high school was still segregated, so I refused to recite it with a bunch of hypocrites. Ah, youth! As far as I could tell, nobody even noticed. ;^)
