Promise to God?

Don't think so, boy.

Here is what _I_ swore to (and the "So help me God" part is but a 
request for help for one's OWN higher power (if they have one), not a 
promise. And it's considered "secular" just as A.A. is considered 
secular when speaking of a "higher power".)

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend 
the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and 
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and 
that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and 
the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations 
and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US 
Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, 
with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
