I Was in 4-H for 11 long years and we always used My World in the 4-H pledge
The 4-H Pledge
I pledge my Head to clearer thinking,
my Heart to greater loyalty,
my Hands to larger service and
my Health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world.

God doesn't belong in the 4-H pledge. Do you honestly believe that if a Hindu family move in next door to you, and have a kid your age you get along with really well, and she decides that 4-H is cool and she wants to join, that she should have to say "my God" and mean the same thing you think you do?
God only made it into the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 (another place He does not belong), and that was an awful mistake made while we were petrified of "the Communists".
You should reread your Constitution, and bear in mind that if you want to install the "prevailing God" into any institutions, you run the risk of being tortured for not praying to Ganoush at some point in the future.

Michael Newdow tried to take "under God" out of the Pledge of Alliegence, if that's what you're talking about.
To be fair, though, "under God" was added to the Pledge only in 1954, and having it at all is a violation of the Establishment Clause which concerns the separation of church and state. And the phrase not only discriminates against atheists, but also non-theistic religions such as Taoism and Buddhism and polytheistic religions such as Hinduism.
