When making the oaths you can choose any religious text or a copy of the constitution. I think it makes the most sense to let the person swearing the oath to choose what will make their oath mean the most to them, so that they are more likely to uphold it. Our right to religious freedom does not entitle us to force religious people to become less so. It's a personal choice, and as long as atheists have the right to choose a non-religious text and the religious have the right to choose what means the most to them, I don't think there's really an issue.
