non- believers don't have to swear, they can affirm that they will tell the truth. But yes, we may well have reached the point where swearing on the Bible should no longer be the default option.

My ex brother in law refused to swear on the bible in court, not because he didn't believe, quite the opposite, he was very godly and is now actually ordained, but because he said there's something in the bible which says you shouldn't.
In actual fact he was just a blooming liar and didn't want his god to send down a thunderbolt to strike him dead :)
