Seems like a good reason to remove the swearing in segment from court procedure. Because if one has to swear to a certain deity per procedure, it would make sense that atheists could be excluded not having such a deity themselves to swear an oath toward.
I never understood that swearing in thing. Why not make you sign a piece of paper instead? That way it's in writing. Contract law...101.


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
