That should be personal choice. AFAIK in court a person can choose to 'affirm' rather than swear on the bible for example, lets face it the majority of people in this country are either atheist or at best agnostics and many people who are religious don't follow Christian religions. As I posted in reply to Danhibees1875 MPs can choose to 'affirm' but that oath still involves swearing loyalty to the queen which renders it pointless.

Thanks for this, I’ve occasionally wondered what happened with people who followed a non Christian faith or atheist when in court. Cheers

It's an affirmation and you solemly swear to tell the truth.
