Well, that's when talking to proposed initiates (neophytes, pledges, or whatever anyone else's term is) prior to initiation is important. Swearing on a religious book, for example, doesn't necessarily men you're swearing to that religion. Sometimes there's just something in there like a pink catsuit reference that's really important (see 33girl's response below).
