Is swearing to God the same thing as a white lie?

You are confusing religious tradition with spiritual truth. They are not the same thing. From a Christian perspective, swearing to God is no worse than a simple white lie.

Why would an atheist say “swear on my Soul”?

An atheist (or any atheist with respect to the God you are talking about) may use the “swear on my soul” because it is a commonly used expression to denote a strong certainty. But I doubt that an atheist would use either one of these expressions, since they don’t believe in any God and most likely they don’t believe that a soul exists.
