re: #410 buzzsawmonkey

Actually, I generalized a bit too much, and though the Presidential Oath has historically included “so help me G-d” (insofar as has been documented, that is), it isn’t written in the Constitution itself, unless you want to stretch the “in the year of our Lord”. The Declaration of Independence refers to a “Creator” and inalienable rights. And (trying to save myself here), almost every single State Constitution references G-D. Heck, Maryland’s says you have to believe in G-d to hold public office! Wonder how that would go over right now.

PS - I have no problems with people who don’t believe in G-d, I just take issue with Christmas Trees being banished under a separation clause that doesn’t exist.
