If I’m not swearing on The Hitchhiker’s Guide I’m not bound by man or god.

You can use anything you want. I don't think the courts can literally refuse it as long as it's reasonable.

Although the only time I ever had to do it they didn't have a Bible they just had a person swear me in. But that was just as a witness so maybe that was the reason.

In the original Hebrew or it doesn't count

Depending on what country, probably. Someone has sworn an oath on a river before.

I swear on the Nile that I'm not in denial!
