Yep. Not even speculation. Look how upset they get when someone is sworn into office on something besides a bible, as if being a Christian is a requirement to hold office. No shame or second thoughts.
There was a court case I read about decades ago in American Atheist, a publication by Madalyn O’Hair, who was a separation of church and state activist. It involved someone (maybe her?) testifying in a court case in Texas, and they didn’t want to swear on a bible. The judge determined that they couldn’t believe any testimony from someone who wouldn’t swear on a bible because they didn’t ‘believe in a future state of reward or punishment’… as in an afterlife in heaven or hell. Just nuts. That’s seriously the only thing keeping Christians moral? The threat of hell or promise of heaven?
