How can atheists be trusted in a court of law when they can only swear upon themselves to tell the truth and nothing but the truth with no one higher than them to help them?

Who can really be trusted in a court of law religous or not. Either way the same rule applies to all whether they believe in a God or not.Answer and ClarificationThe swearing in of a witness in court is for the purpose of prosecution in the event of perjury. An atheist can be sworn in and simply leave off the phrase, "so help me god". The swearing in of a witness or defendant is legally binding and a person who lies after being sworn in faces charges of perjury if it is later determined that they lied under oath.The swearing in of a witness in a court trial does not mean the witness will tell the truth. People who believe in gods lie in court trials after swearing to tell the truth every day.
