Actually, nobody is supposed to "swear" to God that they are telling the truth. "Let your yeas be yea, and your nays be nay." In other words, you are supposed to AFFIRM what you say is the truth, and as baswheat stated, you can do this in a court. Simply ask the court that you prefer to affirm your answers.

An athestist wouldn't be expected to swear on the bible. They can make a declaration to tell the truth.
