A:All recent United States presidents have been Christians and therefore use The Bible when swearing an oath. If any future president were a Muslim, he would no doubt swear on the Qu'ran. By the same token, any future president who happens to be an atheist would make a non-religious affirmation; in fact this does happen on occasion in other Western countries.
