But heck, if we are expanding the definition of sacred texts, how about swearing in on the February 1962 issue of Playboy?
It works with the Constitution. But I probably would not do it.
I was going to post this in reponse to your last post in the locked thread, but I found the thread locked when I hit post.
I guess
@SlyPokerDog decided to silence me. We will see.

I have no clear cut answers for you.
When it comes the the Bible with many authors, or the Quran, with not so many.
Some parts of the Quran, it seems impossible to take literally, such as the midnight run to Jerusalem to confer with the big three, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Seems like something out of the Arabian nights on a flying carpet. But then most of it is supposedly written by Mohammad. I don't know.
Then in the Bible the old testament or part of the Torah is probably written by multiple people of the Hebrew tribes according to the book Who Wrote the Bible.
It seems some take it literally and others do not. Damned if I am going to back the correct way. Then the New Testament we are told was written by the disciples of Jesus,
sometimes quoting the man, sometimes the God, either of which maybe speaking in parables. Some take it literally some do not.
I usually defer to experts to help me with this.
On a higher level, I find the teaching of Moses Jesus, Krishna, Buddha (Monks), Shinto Monks , and Sun Tzu very instructive and beneficial to men. On the other hand, I find Mohammad not nearly so beneficial, perhaps even destructive for most of mankind.
I would even speculate that the Quran is a spoof of the other two religions of Abraham, choosing the original to double down on to inspire the authors followers.
