You're still not making sense. The vast majority of oaths taken do not involve God. Are you saying that even if they Don't involve God, a Christian's oath is better than an atheist's?

What about a Muslim's word? Or a Buddhist's, or a Hindu's, or a Wiccan's?

What about a Jew's.

Does it have to be swearing by YOUR God?

Very good point.

So, the thing is if a possible new member knows what may be in store as far as swearing to some one or something and do not feel comfortable then why even think about joining?

I am curious, what does and Atheist beleive in?

So is it not also true that people are invited to become members? It is not just a right to join. GLOs are selective groups of people anyway.
