I believe that the phrase "under god" was a relatively late addition ~1950 to
the pledge. However the pledge is not law.
OK, I've wasted an entire day on this and other posts. Got to sell something.

Implied by the Pledge itself. Including the text "under God" implies
that there is, in fact, at least one god, and probably only one God
