What do atheists (or non-christians) say or do in US court rooms when the time for putting one's hand upon the bible comes?
I've never seen anything like that in any TV shows, so how could I know.:D

Very few courtrooms around the country ask you to swear in on the bible any more. In most courtrooms you just raise your right hand and are asked "do you swear to tell the truth". Then you reply "I do".


Of course Judge Moores court room you will need to swear in on the bible.:D
