The "under God" clause was added to the Pledge of Allegiance during the McCarthy era, in the belief that no Communist would pledge or swear to God in any way, since they were understood to be atheists. Committed Communists actually had no problems reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or other oaths; part of their commitment was to do or say anything necessary to be trusted, where they worked or operated. The persons affected by the "under God" clause were essentially non-Communists, of beliefs that varied from the Judeo-Christian mainstream.
