I have no problem with anyone's beliefs as long as they don't foist them on others.
Getting back to the issue of this thread,"So help me god" does. It puts religion into politics.

Tolerance has to be a two-way street. The religious need to respect the non-believers as well. And keep religious preference out of government and public policy.

I think a respectful conversation can ensue without trashing each other personally.
