FOXNews.com - First Muslim Elected to Congress Will Use Koran Owned by Thomas Jefferson During Swearing-In - Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum


I know that the US has been using the Bible to swear in it officials. Now they are allowing people to use their religious books to swear into office. What would happen if an atheist were elected to power. would he be required to swear on some book?
Actually congressmen (and women) aren't required to swear in with a book. Most just do it as a formality for publicity.


But what's to stop the manic tide,
The suicide of our own pride?
