Namely the act of having to swear on the bible. How does it work if you are there to testify but proclaim that you are not religious?
What do Muzzies do?
Courts YUCCH. And what the hell are Muzzies? I'm afraid to ask.

In the US most courts have removed the "...on the Bible..." part but still insist you put your hand on the Bible and I agree with you.

True here in the US as well.
Yeah, putting my hand on a Babble would mean nothing to me even if it did the court and all it's participants.
Besides I try not to swear in court. My fear is the judge will smite me dead with a bolt of lightening or something if I do.
