Beam me up Thomas..

[From Las Vegas Now]

Dozens of local residents were sworn in Friday as naturalized U.S. citizens, but one of the new Americans insisted on taking a special oath, one that removed all references to God. Thomas Kaenzig says he left his native Switzerland because of religious persecution. He had to file a lawsuit in federal court to get the attention of immigration officials concerning the oath new citizens must take.

The oath asks new citizens to swear to God and a promise to bear arms. Kaenzig is a Raelian and doesn’t believe in God. He’s also a pacifist.
