[Poll #1964614]

This came about because someone on Slate left a comment that soon people wouldn't be required to swear on the Bible to testify in court. I thought everyone knew that the Quakers (and others) had ensured that affirmation -- with no book or mention of G-d -- was acceptable from pre-Constitutional times to the present.

I had to alter my written form when taking my oath of office, but I was allowed to cross off "so help me G-d" and change the word "swear" to "affirm."
