If selected I am going to try and submit a request to take a secular oath this time.
Why go out of your way? When the time comes just say something along the lines of "I wish to affirm whatever it is I'm affirming without reference to God". Make them accommodate you on the spot. Why should you have to go to some extra trouble just to exercise a constitutional right?
In my view, the system that is forcing God on a citizen is wrong and sand should be thrown in
their gears. By arranging in advance, you facilitate their dysfunction and help hide the problem. Maybe I'm just cantankerous, but I think it is the responsibility of the citizen to publicly mess with the system, if for no other reason than to inform and motivate others who are probably thinking the same thing.
