While some jurisdictions may still offer the use of a bible for swearing in (I just asked a PD lawyer friend of mine and she says she's never been in a courtroom that ever uses a bible or any other prop) there is no jurisdiction where it would be required to swear on a bible and the option to simply affirm to tell the truth is the standard so far as I know.
