New Jersey removes “So Help Me God” from the oath of office after Atheists complained it was Church and State

One of the long and destructive lies that Americans were taught and still are is that the founders supported modern secularism where the government has no ties to religion and is de facto atheist in how it governs. All because Jefferson sent some letter to some small Church saying they can’t be shut down because the 1st amendment said so.

Fast forward to 2023 and now any sign of a Cross or anything Christian even in a small town will be threatened by a ACLU lawsuit because it somehow violates Freedom of religion. Meanwhile all this is going to happen without a threat of Freedom of Religion lawsuit.

Atheists have just secured another strike down against a Christian element that has been around since the founding and that is saying “So Help Me God” during an Oath for Office in New Jersey after saying it somehow violates Freedom of religion.

New Jersey will drop a requirement that candidates for public office sign an oath that includes the phrase “so help me God” in filing paperwork for their candidacy.

“The petitioner has the option to make a solemn affirmation or declaration in lieu of an oath,” Lauren Zyriek, acting director of the state’s Division of Elections said in a memo to all county clerks, NJ.com reported. 

The Oct. 24 memo came after Bergen County resident 70-year-old James Tosone — who hopes to run for Congress as a Libertarian — filed a federal lawsuit against Secretary of State Tahesha Way, claiming New Jersey forces people who run for office to swear to a religious oath.

In his lawsuit, Tosone, a resident of Washington Township, claimed that his conscience would not let him swear to God, the newspaper said. 

“By requiring plaintiff to swear ‘so help me God,’ in order to run for public office, without a secular option, the secretary of state has inflicted, and will continue to inflict, irreparable harm upon (Tosone),” the suit states.

All because it mentioned God it was gone.

Sad thing is that most Republicans wouldn’t bother since they worship the 1st amendment and the separation of Church and State cult so they can get Jews and Muslims to vote Republican.

These people decided that a 200 year old piece of paper was above God himself and now America is a Godless wasteland.

Solving America isn’t just stopping “wokeism” whatever that is. But getting the American people and government to act and be controlled by Christians.

  1. considering that the bible says that no christian should take an oath, this should be no problem for Christians. Of course, Christians often don’t know what their bible says. Happily, the US is secular, and we don’t have to follow the ignornant nonsense in the bible.

    “33 ‘Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, “You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.” 34 But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let your word be “Yes, Yes” or “No, No”; anything more than this comes from the evil one.[” Matthew 5 NSRV

    “33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 but I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: 35 nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.” KJV
