Politicians shouldn’t be swearing on holy books anyway.
—Matthew 5:34—
Parallel Verses
New International Version
But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne;
Just like promising to tell the truth in court: “swear or affirm,” the ceremony should simply have the person assure or affirm that s/he will do the job to the best of his/her ability.

Look at Obama—having sworn to “faithfully execute the laws”, twice, and then failing or even refusing to do so, possibly because rationalizing because he didn’t swear on a Koran.
And the Koran is derived from Christianity which is derived from Judaism.
Keeping religion clearly separate from state in order to ensure its free exercise—safe from depredations of Islamists and the left—is going to be more important than most here think in the years ahead.

Imagine a world where there is no "state":

Daniel 2:44 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever."

This is what is coming, once this age ends.
