I don't think the pledge is unconstitutional.
But I would support any legislative attempt to remove that phrase from the pledge. One need not believe in God to be a good citizen, and the pledge currently implies otherwise.
To answer the question in your signature: Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the commitment to liberty on the part of the citizens in question.
And to whether the liberties of a nation can be secure when the conviction that they are God's gift is NOT removed? The same: maybe, maybe not. It depends on the commitment to liberty on the part of the citizens in question.
