I once heard someone dissect the various changes throughout the pledge's history, and suggest that a much better version would be the simpler

Born and raised in America - when I was a child, we had a teacher (old lady, Presbyterian minister's wife) who would teach us to leave "god" out, telling us that god isn't concerned with which country we belong to.
