No, I don't, but not for the reasons you may think. There are four reasons:
1. It isn't the original version. The "under God" part was added in during the Cold War to separate America from the "godless Commies".
2. It directly violates the First Amendment.
3. It's false. We are not "one nation, under God". There are dozens of religions within the US, as well as people without one.
4. It's ironic. Saying, "one nation, under God, indivisible" instantly divides the American people.

It does not force anyone into anything... In fact since "God" is so vague it can refer to anyone's religions God and does not force regardless. Having a line said in a speech does not force you to change religions nor is there a requirement forcing you to say the pledge as you obviously already know.
