A number of atheists and non-religious organizations want Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony to leave out all references to God and religion, CNN reported.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Washington, the plaintiffs demand that the words "so help me God" not be added to the end of the president's oath of office.

In addition, the lawsuit objects to plans for ministers to deliver an invocation and a benediction in which they may discuss God and religion.
