" My point is that it's not going to stop with the Koran."

Why should it? Swear on whatever you feel like, you still under the threat incarceration if you lie.

" wiccan, the religion you just invented this morning."

OK, you lost me on that, I have no idea what you mean.

So will witnesses just bring along to court whatever it is that they want to swear on?

Or will the courts be required to have on hand any and all possible items that a witness would require before they could be sworn in?

I think the way to go is simply to forgoe the swearing in and use the threat of perjury prosecution against lying.

The same goes for eliminating prayers before begining public meetings.

It's going to end up going this way, eventually, since we're no longer a culturally united people.
