"Had you heard about this drive to have the Koran used in N.C. for swearing in Muslims?"

Yes, but not the out come of the decision. If they don't use the Koran, they aren't obligated to tell the truth? So, what do those of the Jewish faith use? Buddhas? Shintos? and so forth? Do we supply a special book for each and every different religion, or are Muslims special?

I think that's where we'll end up. Using different books for everyone.

And what about atheists?

Jews traditionally either flip to the end of the "Old Testement" and swear only on that portion of the Bible, or bring their own Bible with them to Court (often in Hebrew).
