I suppose that differs from country to country, but often the answer is: yes, they do.
Makes me wonder though whether being of no religion allows them to lie without repercussions.
I'm surprised this old custom hasn't been challenged by anyone yet.

Same as any other non-christian. Just raise the hand and swear to tell the truth. No bible, just a statement.

Whether you are religious or not (and I hope people here don't see the bible as covering all religious beliefs!); there are repercussions. It is called PERJORY

In the US, atheists have what is called an "affirmation" which is basically the same thing without any references to God or religion.
