§ 60-430 Religious belief.

Someone testifying in court doesn't have to answer questions about their religious beliefs or opinions. This means a witness can refuse to share what they believe about God, faith, or theology if a lawyer asks about it.

There's one exception to this rule. If the person's religious beliefs actually matter to the case itself, they may have to answer. For example, if a case is about whether someone practiced a certain religion, or whether their religious views affected a business decision, then those beliefs could become relevant facts in the case.

The one thing that does NOT count as a valid reason to ask about someone's religion is trying to make them look less believable as a witness. Lawyers can't ask about a witness's religious beliefs just to suggest that person is more or less honest or trustworthy because of what they believe. Religion can't be used as a way to attack someone's credibility on the stand.
