WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court is brushing aside an atheist's challenge to religion in government, refusing to hear a complaint about President Obama adding "so help me God" to his inaugural oath of office.
The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Michael Newdow, who argued that government references to God are unconstitutional and infringe on his religious beliefs.
Many presidents have added "so help me God" to the oath.

Hooray for the Supreme Court!
One small step for mankind in the direction of restoring sanity and morality to USA society.
His wanting to have it removed infringes upon my religious beliefs, so who gets what they want here. Suck it up. This is America, the land of the free, with freedom of speech.
And we have finally found the topic that allows the frings Right to say "Obama did the right thing."
Or did me point that out ruin everything?
Eep. Apparently I forgot how to spell.
*fringe
*pointing
My sincere apologies.
dan,
noone cares what you have to say, you are like the little fly that keeps buzzing by you when you're at the beach trying to relax....go fly a kite
Wow Dan!! It's really good to know that the anointed one now has the power to tell the Supreme Court what to do. Talk about being in complete control.
I know neither where we are going or why we're crowded together in this handbasket.
A Christian refers to the Deity as Father, and his Son as Jesus Christ.
God is a word. It is backwards for Dog - the Dog Star (Sirus) was worshipped as the Origin of Isis and Osiris who's son Horus is the name for which we identify the Hours of the day.
Most of the Jewish Kaballa has its origins in Egyptian Mystery Religion. The use of the word God is part of that mystery.
Christians should be glad the government is ceasing its reference to the Jewish God Yhwh.
As an atheist, and a firm supporter of separation of church and state, that's a ridiculous lawsuit for that man to file. Makes atheists look bad. Of course Obama has the right to add that to his own oath.
