I was, um, gently informed by a teacher once that you can say the pledge without "under God" and it sounds natural as it was originally intended. This blew my mind as a young atheist and made me realize how pervasive religion is.

I would consider the daily fascist flag ritual the pervasive thing here. If someone wants to swear by his faith that seems much smaller of an issue to me.

Incidently it seems fascist nationalism and other totalitarian political ideologies to have been at odds with religion in their times and places. See Hitler and Stalins regimes as examples.
