Even being born into it, it feels weird. I'll stand politely when the national anthem is played at a sporting event, because that feels only slightly odd. But the pledge of allegiance always gave me straight cult vibes, no thanks.

I've seen multiple groups of Australians treat their national anthem with mild irreverence, which feels so much healthier.

As an Australian I can confirm this. Anybody silly enough to act patriotic in any group will be sledged mercilessly.
