Freedom from Religion Foundation asks Immigration Office to drop religious oath
The Freedom from Religion Foundation has issued this press release that begins:
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has asked the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to drop mention of a deity from its “Oath of Allegiance for Naturalized Citizens.” The national state/church watchdog made the request on behalf of several complainants seeking U.S. citizenship, who were dismayed to be confronted with a religious test for citizenship. The oath to swear in new citizens ends “so help me God.”
