Check the article above. In short, the author thinks that presidents should not swear in on a Bible (nor any other religious text), but rather on a copy of the Constitution. Doing so would remove any sense of exclusion for non-Christians as well as demonstrate, as John Adams did, a stronger loyalty to the laws that one is being sword to uphold and defend, rather than a religious text.
Personally, I think this would be a step in the right direction, for all the reasons stated above. And I don't see how anyone could logically argue that we should continue using a Bible for any reason. It's an asinine tradition that should find itself in the dustbin of history.
