We only had this issue one time when I was active, one sister did not want to place her hand on the bible so she put it over her heart instead and that was the end of it. I don't think anyone is suggesting modifiying rituals so much that they stray from the original ideas they were based on, many of which were christian ideals, but some simple modifications like that one I think are acceptable and don't change the meaning of the ritual itself.
