Place your hand on the bible?

A Wake County Superior court is hearing arguments today in a lawsuit challenging a state policy that allows only the Bible to be used in such court procedures. The lawsuit alleges that state law is unconstitutional because it favors Christianity over other religions.

The ACLU is a plaintiff, as is Syidah Mateen, a Muslim woman who said she was denied the use of the Quran in a Guilford County court.
