Nonsense of course there is. In your country and mine and the country in which I live there is a complex relationship between Christianity and law. If you ever have to go to court you are usually asked to put your hand on the bible and swear that you are about to tell the truth. You may opt not to do so or you may opt to choose a different way of ascertaining that you are about to tell the truth - but you should be aware that you are likely to be judged under Christian values. This is just one example of many.
