The pledge gives no specific mention to religion, so it is no endorsement. All it does is call mention to God the creator. If you people have read the Declaration of Independence its the same God (non-denomination/non-affiliated) that is the creator of man, the same God who endowed us with all our rights.

Thomas Jefferson- "God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever."
