If We Elected An Atheist President...
... would she still have to place her hand on the BIBLE when sworn in?

2. No idea, but might as well. Sure doesn't seem to mean anything to
the Theist Presidents.

3. speaking as an atheist...
i'm gonna place my hand over my OWN crotch and tell the right wing (as i'm being sworn in) that they can either "face" it or "get behind it" cause it's "cumming either way"

5. All answers lie in "The West Wing"...
JOSH
You know, there's nothing that says you have to be sworn in on a Bible.

BARTLET
Is that true?

JOSH
You can be sworn in on a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

BARTLET
You think that's a good idea?

JOSH
No.

6. She doesn't have to. In fact, it could be unconstitutional
to do so by a strict reading of Article 6 which forbids a religious test for public office.

7. Is the Bible the New Testament?
If so would a Jew or Muslim or another non-Christan have to as well?
