People's religious beliefs and the way they exercise them are irrelevant in a court case.
Their word will be evaluated along with all of the other relevant evidence and a decision rendered.

Without any evidence to impeach his or her testimony or to show perjury, when a person is sworn in, they are taken at their word. Besides, isn't everyone a sinner and most all of us confessed sinners? Courts are based on proof and a lack of proof against his or her word coupled with them swearing an oath (which also works as a pledge that they will be held for perjury if they are found to lie) creates a presumption of truthfulness in the courts. A rebuttable presumption though.

Everybody's a sinner, and a confessed sinner is just a sinner who's more honest about it, so, yes, I would take their word over someone who's not a confessed sinner.

Anyone who claims to have not sinned is a liar, so we are all confessed sinners.
