Is this comma incorrect?

In the sentence "I take it, you haven't read the book", is the comma needed or not? I think it isn't but others are saying I'm wrong without really explaining why...

I take it that you haven't read the book. No comma. "That" is sometimes omitted.

No comma. "That" is sometimes omitted. We speak the entire sentence without a pause.
