Immigrant Sues U.S. Government Over “So Help Me God” Being in Citizenship Oath

oped: Ok she is a atheist...why doesn't she immigrate to say North Korea, China or Vietnam they are all communist/atheist countries I'm sure they would welcome her and she would be more at home in a atheist country.
She has only applied for US Citizenship has not been granted it therefore she has absolutely no rights whatsoever to demand we change our process to accommodate her personal beliefs.
Furthermore maybe she should be investigated for potential ties to ANTIFA...she certainly has the trademark talking points down pat...I say congress should reject her lawsuit and tear up her application for US Citizenship...that my two cents!

This is absolutely RIDICULOUS! Daily Wire reports that an atheist immigrant is SUING the United States government because she is upset that the citizenship oath has the words, “So help me God.”
French citizen Olga Paule Perrier-Bilbo has allegedly applied for United States citizenship twice and wants to become an American citizen, however she refuses to say those last four words. She claims it violates her religious freedom rights.
First of all, if she doesn’t want to say the words then tough luck, she doesn’t become a citizen! She already isn’t a citizen here so she does not have any American rights.

However, she filed the lawsuit.
It claims, “By its very nature, an oath that concludes “so help me God” is asserting that God exists,” the lawsuit continues, “Accordingly, the current oath violates the first ten words of the Bill of Rights, and to participate in a ceremony which violates that key portion of the United States Constitution is not supporting or defending the Constitution as the oath demands.”

In 2009, Perrier-Bilbo was offered the chance to recite a modified oath, one which did not include “so help me God.” Say the oath, become an American.
But she doesn’t want that. She says that reciting the modified oath would make her “feel less than a full new citizen.”

So she demands it is taken out completely. What?
The lawsuit continues, “This is unfair, demeaning and improper. Plaintiff is unwilling to start her new life as an American citizen in some second-class status solely because she chooses to follow her religious precepts.” It says,  “Under the principles of equal protection, she demands the right to experience the elation, the pride, the sense of camaraderie, and the sense of belonging, which comes from joining her fellow new citizens as an equal participant in the naturalization oath ceremony.”

This issue has come up repeatedly in U.S. history. The First Amendment says Congress “shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” and dozens of cases have risen to the Supreme Court.
This case could follow the same path.
According to the suit, “The phrase ‘so help me God,’ added to the nation’s officials Naturalization Oath, sends the ancillary message to members of the audience that disbelieve in God that they are outsiders, not full members of the political community, and an accompanying message to those that believe in God that they are insiders, favored members of the political community.”

The lawsuit added, “Because she will be swearing ‘to support the Constitution of the United States,’ and ‘to support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States,’ she cannot in good conscience participate in a ceremony that violates that constitution and those laws.”
