Nothing. It’s not a required part of the oath anyway.

I will be long dead before any Atheist is elected president of this country, unfortunately.

I think it would be interesting if we had Buddhists in politics.

So help me Flying Spaghetti Monster. If you’re gonna remove God there might as well be spaghetti.

If a dyslexic was in office, we might hear “so help me dog”.

Now that I think about it, Milo would be president and say “So help me, Gail.” He says that daily anyway.

So help me science and rationality. (I’m not an atheist but I wanted to answer anyway.)

Have you seen that South Park where Cartman freezes himself and goes to the future where everyone is Atheist and says “Science dammit” and stuff. Its funny.

I’m not an atheist either but how about “So, let’s get started”
