And if it's a bible, what do people other than from Judeo-Christian religions do? Does it have to be a book (paper or electronic)? And does the swearee get to choose?
Sorry if these sound like stupid questions, but the article got me thinking.

If I was ever to swear an oath using a Bible, it would have to be a Jewish Bible and no other version as the oath would not be valid otherwise.
