Atheists fail to ban God from Obama inauguration
A US federal judge refused to order the words “so help me God” taken out of President-elect Barack Obama’s inaugural oath or to stop ministers from praying at the inauguration ceremony.
US District Judge Reggie Walton turned down a request from a group of atheists and agnostics to force Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts not to add those words to the 35-word inaugural oath outlined in the Constitution.
