  • That's the oath of office for all federal offices; I took that oath two years ago for the Navy. To say it bars atheists from graduating it about as accurate as saying it bars atheists from working for the government. The "so help me God" line is ceremonial and figurative. However, requiring it at graduation seems pretty unnecessary. It will no doubt not be passed.
