In almost every court in the USA when people are called to the stand to make a statement they must put there hand on a Bible and swear not to lie. Yes there is a law in court where a person can be punished for lying or making false statements, but should the Bible be involved? Should people that do not believe in the Bible still have to swear on it? This should be an option but in most courts a person has to.
I'm an atheist.I think that religion and justice should be separated.It doesn't make any sense to swear on something you don't believe.Someone who believes in the Bible could swear on it and lie anyway so there are no reasons for someone to swear on it.The oath should be made over the law,because that's what rules the courts.
