It's not about offending somene so much as keeping clear the separation between Church and State. I'm not saying I agree with or disagree with this perception. But that's pretty much what the deal's about. "Under God" is viewed by the U.S. Court as being an implicit endorsement of Christianity. To further extrapolate an implied denigration of atheism and polytheism is shakier ground.
