Who or what are you swearing on?

You're swearing to tell the truth on pain of being found guilty of perjury, essentially. Whether you believe in God or not in this circumstance is kind of irelevant. Otherwise, atheists would be free to lie in court.

It's too bad that we don't get back to the roots of testifying- swearing on your testicles, under pain of castration.
