Your question is vague however

When your a witness, one must be sworn an oath that you are not lying on stand
Since about 60% of the U.S. is very religious, this has worked a couple of times, but not always. It is to ensure that when one is up in the stands, one is always telling the truth.

"you do solemnly swear (or affirm) that the testimony you give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, under penalty of perjury."
