I think it should be up to the president whether he says "so help me God" or not. After all, it is him and only him who is emboldened or harmed by the phrase since it is a personal pledge.
So long as the justice prompting his oath doesn't say it, as if it were mandatory, I am in complete agreement with you.
The point of secularists isn't to hide the fact that he is religious, but to not force him to be if he weren't.
