The Pledge of Alegiance holds no legal weight, it's just a tradition.
The Founding Fathers of the U.S. specifically called out the union as a mandatory separation of church and state, so that no religious entity could force their views on anybody else, especially minorities.
For this very specific reason, laws in the U.S. should never, ever have any kind of religous overtones or undertones
