It doesn't change the meaning. It's there to make the sentence read better because the list of descriptors doesn't end there.



...and I say the pledge, I just leave out the %26quot;under God%26quot; part. Why can't other people do the same?



P.S. You have to consider the entire phrase for context.
When you say one nation, under God, you are saying that we are a nation that is under God. When you say one nation under God, you are saying that out of several or many nations, only one is under God.
Well there is no change to the meaning. Remember the comma is also used as a timing device. When a comma is put in it can also represent an intended pause in a sentence.
