Please can we stop religious oaths in the legal process?

Comment

In court the other day, we had a witness and defendant who clearly due to the manner of their dress proclaimed quite strict adherence to a particular faith. When offered the relevant holy book, they declined it and affirmed instead. It was perhaps inevitable that the Justices took a particular view regarding the veracity of their evidence.
