Ummm... because the concept of swearing in a court is an ancient, outmoded and ultimately meaningless custom that probably should be scrapped?

Firstly, it's bogus (using it as evidence, I mean), and secondly, what sort of religious person is so insecure about their beliefs that they must find evidence to back it up?

It's not about backing up their own beliefs. It's about defending them to people who try to argue that religion is implausible. Too bad 90% of religious people are unable to conceive an atheistic point of view so they can't construct a coherent argument.
Which, for some reason, tends to leave agnostic little me defending religion. Not sure why I bother.
