As an atheist, I recognize all religions aren't created equally. Then there is levels to Christianity as well. As an atheist, I have found Christians to be much more understanding of my position, though YMMV. Christian values are more compatible to my golden rule type of morality. So I don't clash with Christians because they Christians. Life is good. Now, lefty communists Marxist pinko atheist are fucking intolerable. And downright antitheist, but only for the Christian god, strangely.
Having said all that, "under god" was added back in 1954. To me, it's just fluff, honestly, but it it adds value for someone else to love this country, then so be it.

That last paragraph of your response is key.
For God and country - that could be the first step towards taking the red pill and saving us from the horrors of communism.
