John, 
  
Like you, I can't think why the 
word "God" was dropped. It's no skin off anyone's nose to swear to something 
they don't believe in. Possibly it's all to do with the latest 
"inclusiveness" bullshit - concerned people getting their knickers in a twist 
over the thought that they who don't believe in gods might feel put out at not 
being able to join organisations that require one to say the word "God" with a 
capital letter. 
  
When I joined the Scouts I had no 
reservations whatever about saying God/god - it was prerequisite for 
joining the Scouts, not a matter of bloody conscience. I didn't say it 
because I thought I was a christian - as I was then and am now I dislike being 
categorised according to someone else's notion of what religion I might or might 
not adhere to.  I'm not a stick of rock with something written up the 
middle. 
  
Hugh.
