A Christian chaplain for Congress should be offend the First Amendment because people can choose to be any religion, someone may believe in a different form of a God. Another one that offends the non-establishment clause is the sessions of Congress opening with a prayer in Jesus name. Not everyone believes I Jesus. If not everyone believes in Jesus, then why is he being brought up. Jesus can be totally subjective to me or to anyone else. The Chaplains in each branch of the U.S. military are not offending because the people in the military have someone or something to turn to while going through a life changing experience. The Chaplains in each branch of the military might be the only thing that is keeping them sane during their experience. The oaths of political office taken with a hand placed on a bible is offending to the non-establishment clause. What if that bible isn’t your holy book? It might feel strange or someone might not approve of the practice. The one that is probably the most offending is probably the courtroom testimony sworn to God. People are forced to swear to God but if they don’t believe in God then it probably doesn’t make a difference if they swear or if they don’t swear to God. Even if they did swear to God it wouldn’t count if they don’t
