Isn't there a provision for a secular oath? I mean, the default in my country is also religious, but if you claim to be a non believer, they make you swear without any god. Especially at court.
I gave testimony in Superior Court two days ago and the oath had no mention of deities. If I recall correctly, the entirety of it was "Do you swear to tell the truth?" and an affirmation of that was all that was required. No bible, no "so help you GoD".
Somehow I managed to tell the truth even without al the trappings of Christian privilege.
