use `||` not `|`, what is the difference?

Question

I'm just wondering why we usually use logical OR || between two booleans not bitwise OR |, though they are both working well.

I mean, look at the following:

if(true  | true)  // pass

if(true  | false) // pass

if(false | true)  // pass

if(false | false) // no pass

if(true  || true)  // pass

if(true  || false) // pass

if(false || true)  // pass

if(false || false) // no pass

Can we use | instead of ||? Same thing with & and &&.
