That's a laugh. Our founders clearly stated that an oath was worthless without God in it. Who or what are you swearing on? Yourself? hahahha

Call the courthouse in your county and ask if Bibles are used to swear someone in. In fact, call the courthouses in the counties in your state to see how many use the Bible to swear people in, and do the same in neighboring states. You'll be surprised.

You're swearing to tell the truth on pain of being found guilty of perjury, essentially. Whether you believe in God or not in this circumstance is kind of irelevant. Otherwise, atheists would be free to lie in court.
