If we, as citizens, put god above man and our governments, then you would have a point. 

Americans swear their pledge of alliance to the state and not to a god.

Christians and other religions break that pledge when preaching against the state laws.

Americans pledge to a state ‘under God’. I don’t like that any more than you do, but that IS what that particular prayer says.

A truly secular pledge would read something like, ‘I pledge allegiance to liberty and justice for all,’ without all that nationalistic/religious jingoism in the middle.

Though the "under God" was added a few years before I was born the pledge I learned was "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

This is what I learned when I started school and I think it was what was said at the next elementary school I attended.  Those were both public schools K-3 for the first one and 4-5 for the next.  I am pretty sure I had to go with the "under god" version in 6th grade when I got sentenced to Catholic school by my parents following another move.
