And yet look at our government, if people got as worked up over our government and elected officials over stepping their bounds
In all but a few jurisdictions, they aren't. In federal court they are not.
How come all the Bible haters and Christian haters accept it when somebody is "sworn in" for court testimony?
That was his choice. Teddy Roosevelt chose not to. John Quincy Adams used a law book.
Obama took the oath of office and used a Bible.
That officials can swear their oaths in a manner which they find meaningful?
What are other public officials supposed to think?

A cop doing this is the government overstepping it's bounds... As is a county clerk refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay people, as is a judge refusing to perform gay marriages.
Cops are the government
County clerks are the government
Judges are the government

Just because you put God onto something doesn't make you a believer or justify your actions.
At the end of the day it's just a word.
A word that should stay in institutions of worship and of course our currency.
