No our country is our country, not just theirs. The oath of office sets the tone for all legal oaths, and since it is not required to swear to a god, sure you may not care, and that is fine. But i do not think it is good for everyone all the time to simply go with the flow. A citizen is a citizen regardless and I don't think our Christian majority has any right to assume, even in a court room.
But for you in that context I think it was reasonable considering what the issue was.
