It is superfluous.You can't legislate someone's conscience.And funnily, it's the Satanist that gets off lightly in all this, with the PC stuff.Picture...

JUDGE: Do you swear on this bible to tell the truth.

SATANIST (thinking to himself): Oh, phew! I was sure he was gonna make me swear in Satan's name.What a relief! Now I can lie my ass off then.

These will test some Judges

btw - In the UK - Perjury Act 1911; Section 1
It is an offence for a person to give lawfully sworn evidence as a witness in judicial proceedings to wilfully make any material statement knowing it to be false or not believing it to be true.
Maximum Sentence: 7 years in prison

Mike, yes, I noticed "or" in your post, only I wanted to make fun of it.
BTW, I remembered Mickey Mouse because when I was a boy I saw an american film in a movie theatre. There was an american hero and aliens in some distant planet. These aliens have statures of their gods or so, and when they asked "where's your god", he searched under his coat, got a trinket on chain and said: "Here it is. This is great god Mickey Mouse." I don't remember the rest of the film, but somehow this scene stamped on my memory.

The movie is Enemy Mine, starring Lou Gossett Jr. and Dennis Quaid. Really a pretty good flick.
