Because using the Bible in any official or quasi-official capacity is, in my view, anti-American. FWIW, I'd also drop the invocation and benediction at the inauguration, get rid of the opening prayer in Congress, take "In God We Trust" off money, and drop "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. In my view, all of that is in violation of the First Amendment.
