Swearing allegiance to the Queen

I've just read a report about John McDonnell, who apparently is a "life-long republican", swearing allegiance to the Queen so that he can be a member of the Privy Council.

All fine so far (I mean, no objections from me so far).

What I'm wondering is, what do people say who don't want to swear "by Almighty God..."?
