Oaths taken on the bible are done by choice. Someone being sworn in can choose any book they want.
The god stuff was added during the cold war due to the red scare and its definitely unconstitutional to force people to recite those words.
We French do not have a clear cut separation of the two either, but this is more a cultural thing because a minimal percentage of the population is religious, at least with the religion our culture was raised with (Christianity, roughly speaking).
Also, when we passed in 1975 the abortion law (Loi Veil), the opposition was not for religious reasons but, sadly, a pure masculine view on the role of the woman and her rights.
