Religious Beliefs or Opinions

Evidence of the beliefs or opinions of a witness on matters of religion is not admissible to attack or support the witness's credibility. COMMENT ON RULE 610 Rule 610 was taken verbatim from the federal counterpart with only one stylistic change. The phrase "the beliefs or opinions of a witness on matters of religion" was retained from the State rule. The change is stylistic only and is substantively the same as the current rule, but is organized differently for greater clarity.
