Tell the truth. Let them know you'll swear on the constitution. OR inform ahead of time that you don't believe in god.

I thought that courts would let a person 'affirm' rather than 'swear in'....?

Don't you have a choice in America? I used to be a magistrate and we very rarely had people swear on a bible (much more often on a koran!), but most people just read out that they'd tell the truth.

I would respond, "I tell the truth without any outside help."

You are are there swearing the truth, why start out with a lie. I think "so help me god" should be replaced with "under penalty of perjury".

You say which one? It gets funny after that. If you want to be one that fits in with the crowd then leave the funny stuff at home.

Tell the truth. They put the godliness and placing the hand on the bible thing all over the world. Just be a good human and tell the truth and ignore the religious mumbojumbo.

What choice do you have? To lie? If you're secure enough in your non-belief then none of it should really bother you.

We can't force other people to see things the way we do. In fact, we shouldn't want to. That would be rather selfish of us.

Tell the truth.

Meh. I'd just tell the truth. It is what it is.
