That phrase is objectionable to a lot of people and should be eliminated
IMO. Suppose all the atheists recited the line as "one nation, there is no
god". Can you see the possibility of that becoming a problem? How about if
one group tried to shout their phrase louder than the other group?

The phrase does not belong in an oath to government allegiance. It excludes
people who believe do not believe that there is a god.
