I don't understand that concept. Most oaths made do not involve one to God.. I'm not even talking about fraternity oaths. Atheists in court swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth... adding God in doesn't change anything.
Besides that, how many people "OMG SWEAR TO GOD" and don't mean that either.
Many GLOs have Christian or other religious connections. Even those that do may not swear an oath TO GOD or BY GOD. Heck, they could say a prayer and still not swear to or by God.

Back in the day it was enough to swear upon your sacred honor, however, nowadays honor doesn't mean anything. When was the last duel you heard about due to an infringement upon someone's honor? It was the same thing with God and oaths. Now neither mean anything, with proof coming from the fact that atheists are allowed to make oaths.
