Whole lotta idiots in here, honestly. Christ's sake guys, be better than this. I ordinarily have enjoyed MTG's tenacity, but this is not a fruitful avenue to pursue and just makes her look like one of the deranged Bible-thumping theocratic conservatives of old.

Nothing in the Constitution requires the Oath of Office to be taken on a Bible. Just because it "became tradition" because the only elected politicians were Christians doesn't mean someone is illegitimate if they take it on a different book or no book at all.

Anyone who thinks the establishment of Christianity as a state religion is desirable or that America is a "Christian country" is frankly not expressing a very American attitude. This country was founded on free expression and freedom from religious persecution. Take that theocracy shit elsewhere.
