Why don't they ever swear on the Constitution? How does allegiance to a religion make them somehow more trustworthy? How do we know they won't, at some point, put the interests of their religion over the interest as The People As A Whole? Each religion, almost by definition, starts with "we are right and the others are wrong", or else they wouldn't be a separate religion in the first place. So how do I know they won't be driven, sometimes, by their idea that the others got it wrong?
