In any case, shouldn't everyone be applauding a president for refusing to touch a bible, tacitly denouncing religious contexts near government?

Not if it's someone that got elected based on their support for the union of church and state. Now if someone like AOC got elected president and didn't swear on the bible, that would mean something

AOC should have sworn in on a union contract. Maybe then she wouldn't have voted to protect the rail corporation from a union strike.
