I stated this before in a different thread (can't remember which one)
If you want to swear allegiance to the Queen, you do it on a Bible. That is the protocol and that is how the ceremony is written.
If you don't want to use a Bible the ceremony quickly, quietly and with a true sense of Canadian inclusion turns to a SOLEMN DECLARATION. That mentions no religion whatsoever, and now you Solemnly Declare that you will be faithful to the Queen and Canada.
Problem solved.
One new kid getting sworn into the Army didn't like the Monarchy, and just about refused to enter because of it. We made it perfectly clear that she was our Commander-In-Chief, and if he didn't like that he could fuck off. He quietly submitted.
