Blurring the line separating church and state...

And how about my example of taking an oath in court? I'd say swearing on a Bible is \"sanctioning\" a religion.
There is no requirement to swear on the bible (buy-bull Smile) in court.

In fact, in the trial of Marlon Brando's son Christian, when asked, “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?”, Marlon replied, "No, because I do not believe in god."

He was then given an alternate oath, which I believe just says "Do you promise to tell the truth as required of you by the laws of the United States Of America," or something along those lines.
