No problem johan, it is a fair question. Would a Christian swear an oath to Allah, Zeus or Satan if the government demanded it of them in official documentation or court settings? I think not.
Depends on the Christian I guess. So I guess I should clarify a few things. I'm Atheist because I can be without fear of death or prison. Even at that, I still tend to keep in on the down low as much as possible. But if I lived in a place where being atheist could get your killed or incarcerated, I'd be as christian or a muslim or as jewish etc as you can be. Which I suppose in a way brings us back to the actual point I was trying to make. Pick the hill you're willing to die on carefully.

And while I don't personally believe in it and never have, I pledged allegiance every morning in school growing up and I still turned out ok. Personally if I needed something from our legal system I'd swear to peanut butter or Donny Osmond or butt sex if it made them happy and got me what I wanted.
