Legal Inquiry: Atheists and Affirmations (Not Oaths)

To be honest, I was far more preoccupied with the whole situation as it was than with some pettyfogging theatre.

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.
