Most or all of this drama, humiliation, wasted taxpayer money could be spared -
with even modest attempt at presenting balanced facts from the start.

At this country's founding, atheists were considered unreliable witnesses since they had no fear of God nor a fear of eternal punishment, and thus were not able to run for office since they couldn't swear an oath of office.

I see no reason why this situation should change. Atheists are unreliable and untrustworthy. They have rejected truth itself.
So you would prohibit Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Bahai, and anyone not Christian from government as well?
That's not a remotely logical extrapolation. He's excluding only atheists and Anabaptists.

Jews and Muslims? Not in the slightest (assuming they aren't atheist). We all believe in God.

I do not have a quarrel with Hindus or Bahá'í people, either, as they also believe in God or gods, albeit quite differently than I understand them. They are not atheists in the slightest.

Atheism, specifically, is a REJECTION of God, and is a very harmful, toxic ideology that has no place being respected in a society. The Constitution of America allows freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

As much as I'd appreciate the government excluding us, it seems nearly every form I have come across in recent times says "swear (or affirm)". The last time I had to make a big deal about a form that didn't leave room for affirmation was an affidavit an employer requested me to sign back in 2014 when I lost a company-owned laptop (and their legal counsel did not have the foggiest idea what I was talking about).
