No you don't.

In many courts, the UK included, it is normal to swear an oath on The Bible or otherwise swear a declaration.


For religious reasons, an atheist can make a promise and does not need to use a bible at all.


Also, for religious reasons, some Christians refuse to swear an oath because the bible instructs not to swear and they are able to make a promise before God.


For others with religious beliefs that are non Christian, courts have forms of promise that are acceptable to them.


All countries and all courts have their own rules and guidelines.

Is sworn a noun?

No The way to tell a noun is if it can be preceded by an article (the, a, an). You cannot say 'the sworn' or 'a sworn' by itself. The statement could be 'sworn to secrecy' in which case the whole phrase seems adjectival. Sworn itself is the imperfect tense of 'to swear'.
