The purpose of taking an oath is to awaken the conscience to the importance and seriousness of that which one is professing to abide by. Having a Bible or other religious literature in one's presence while taking an oath impresses the seriousness of the situation on those of faith. An affirmation, on the other hand, is similar to an oath but for the religious instrument. An affirmation is likely to be the means of swearing in for agnostics, atheists, and the like.
