From what I've read lately, they DO take their "real" oath based on the Constitution.

The Bible oath is apparently just done as a photo opportunity.

Maybe they could switch off each year for the photo op. One year everybody puts their hand on the Bible. Then the next everybody puts their hand on the Koran, then the Torah, Dianetics, Book of Wiccan, etc. etc....LOL

I can't really blame a Muslim for not wanting his picture taken with his hand on the Bible. Just as I couldn't blame a Christian for not wanting to have his picture taken with his hand on the Koran.
