You could bring it up with the state ACLU.
​
Unfortunately, the swearing in of a jury is not a good place to protest this.
​
In Illinois, the swearing in of jurors does not include such a statement, at least in my county court system.

Re: Its cultural
The entire church/state controversy is being debated between liberal humanist organizations such as the A.C.L.U. who are being urgd to eliminate religion from public life, and neocon conservatives who do NOT want such historic tradition eliminated from public life.
That's not correct, although perhaps an accidental mistake.
​
What the ACLU and other groups oppose, is state sponsored religion. The ACLU has actually argued in support of religion in public life, for cases where it is not state sponsored.
