No, I'm afraid of his pretend followers, who want to force everyone to believe what they believe. This is America, not a third world theocracy. I'd like to keep it that way.
The Bible was written by men. I don't submit to their authority any more than I submit to yours.
I'm sure next we'll be getting a law requiring the Christian Bible be used for oaths as well. Just another way people of non-Christian faiths and people with no faith at all are considered second class citizens in Trump's America.
Do you think 'So help me God' should be required? Why shouldn't people be able to swear to the deity of their choice or non at all if they are secular? Also isn't this a Constitutional problem? It's pretty clear about that 'no religious tests' thing that Republicans hate so much.
1. when you SWEAR an Oath, you are swearing to something
2. the god they refer to is what ever god you happen to believe in...be it the jewish, Christian, muslin, budist god, or one of the pagan gods...or to the atheist the god of money, or his lunchbox

I want to swear over bowl of spaghetti. At least spaghetti fills me up, unlike any of the mythical religions.
Put forth by Rep. Mike Johnson, a member of the hilariously named "Freedom Caucus." Freedom to believe in MY religion, and MY religion only. Yeah, that's freedom all right.
The members of this group would happily see the U.S. turn into a theocracy. Then they could impose their own form of Sharia Law on the country under the rule of Christianity.
This bill will go nowhere in the Democratic House. The FreeDUMB caucus is a paper tiger. Thank God.
One member puts forth a proposal that requires people to say So Help Me God in oaths, which has zero chance of passing. I'm sorry, but that's not giving me nightmares anywhere near as much as the Democrats' march to the left and totalitarianism with their Green New Deal. I know it has zero chance of passing right now either, but God help us if more people sign on to socialism under the guise of saving the environment (which the GND wouldn't even accomplish).

Atheists don't have a god. Not even lunchboxes. And other theologies don't call their dude "god".
