The US government and its subdivisions simply does not have the authority to punish you for failing to claim a religious affiliation.

Of course not in a general sense, but if your religious beliefs have something to do with the case at hand you'd better talk.

No, when it comes to religious beliefs, the government does not have the authority to pry, or to punish.

We have secular courts with secular rules. Doesn't matter if the plaintiffs agree to make the judge Pope!~ He's taken an oath and must stick to it.
