Please can we stop religious oaths in the legal process?

This statement: "Let us assume for a moment that there are people who might be comfortable perjuring themselves in the eyes of the law, but who would not lie having sworn a religious oath. " Is bizarre. If you are so religious you would not lie having sworn an oath, would you also be so irreligious as to lie when not under oath (which is what I understand perjury to be?) Obviously it is not unknown for religious folk to be hypocrites, but even so, this seems very strange reasoning.
