In the US, no. Every area is different but there will always be an alternative to it like a "secular oath" or "affirmation." You should ask ahead of time so they are prepared. And keep in mind you'll probably be prejudged since atheists are still considered an untrustworthy group!

No, atheists can "affirm" to tell the truth and nothing more. I am a Seventh-Day Adventist, and I don't swear. It is a sin to swear. James 5:12 "But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by Heaven, neither by the Earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation."

Jenny The Great ⭐A side note: swearing is based on man-made traditions. Meaning, any believer who swears does not care what the Bible says.
