Naturalized citizens may exclude the phrase "so help me God" from the oath of allegiance if they have a religious or personal objection to its inclusion. This allows individuals who adhere to non-theistic beliefs or who do not wish to invoke a deity to still participate in the naturalization process. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) permits this accommodation to ensure that the oath respects the diverse beliefs of all citizens.
