Firstly, Hello and welcome. Have some cookies. 
Secondly, That phrase wasn't added until the 50's. I could say something about religious revival after and during the wars. But that is old news.
I don't think it should be in there, but the supreme court ruled on it in 2010. They said as long as the pledge was voluntary, it didn't violate students rights. Personally, I don't think most children know that it is voluntary.
I understand why religious people like having it.
I also think admitting those words is a very simple fix. I think an argument over it is pointless, unless it can actually change it.
