The United States Constitution refers to God in Article VI when it says "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification." It refers to God again in the First Amendment when it says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . . "

Lawsuit seeks to take 'God' out of inaugural
Some atheists want Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony to leave out references to God and religion. In a lawsuit, the plaintiffs demand the words "So help me God" not be added to the end of the oath of office. The plaintiffs say they are being forced to choose between not watching the inauguration or watching endorsements of "purely religious notions."

I look at that last sentence and all I can think is "ok, so you have a choice. Don't watch it. Where's the problem?"

Then I think "self-righteous jackass."



I don't think it's as much a genuine demand for justice as a symbolic protest against the blatant influence superstition and dogma, in the form of religion, have over US politics. They're simply voicing their support for secularisation and a move away from stagnant tradition.
