2. Why have some "elders" referred to the "G" above the WM head as "God" and some "Geometry"?

3. Why is a belief in Deity a requirement, if this is not a religious organization?

Has anyone else not asked themselves the same questions?

If you don't believe in God, then taking the Oaths on a Bible is pretty meaningless, isn't it?
