I don’t think the oath has to be sworn on the bible.

The Constitution does not say a Bible should even be used.

You are correct.

Now wait a minute. By what authority you swear has moral and social implications. I was just saying that if you swear without swearing by anything, you are saying in effect, “because I said so.”

And that is evil.
