And that bible is the CHOICE of the person taking the oath. You are so big on the Constitution....show me where in Article II it requires a bible for taking the oath.Every four years taxpayers pay for an inauguration where most of the time a Bible is used for the oath of office. Prayers to the One True Judeo/Christian God are spoken. You're not going to stop that.Yes, they believed in freedom....as in freedom from someone telling them what religion they had to be...and freedom from their tax dollars paying for someone else's superstition being displayed in public places.Because they were men of honor and tolerance, not like you. They believed in freedom, unlike you. However, it is true that Washington grabbed a bible to take his oath.Really? Then why isn't their bible, their religion, specifically mentioned in the First Amendment?Bullcorn. The Bible was their book. Their culture was Judeo/Christian. Everyone had a Bible. Washington grabbed a Bible when he took his oath. Sell your rewritten history to naïve college kids.No specific religion was in the Framers' thoughts when they wrote the First Amendment.
And Washington had the freedom to grab a bible.....and we all have the freedom to grab or NOT grab a bible if we wish. It's called CHOICE.
