I was surprised they even still do that, given how secular and multicultural our society has become, especially in the past 15-20 years. I consider this board a good snapshot of our society as a whole, and if that's the case, there's more athiests and non-Christians than Christians out there. I wonder how many athiests and people of other religions they've had in there having to hold in a smirk while they swore on the Bible. They should probably change that, I don't think it has the same effect it once did.

You have the choice or swearing on the bible, or making a solemn affirmation.
