Too much Law and Order

It might differ by judge but in all the cases I've had to testify I only had to state "I affirm to tell the truth."
Besides atheists and other people, (Muslims believe in the same deity, BTW
), Jehovah's Witness and various other denominations believe swearing oaths are against the Bible (Matthew 5:33-37) and have successfully established a legal right for one to refuse to swear in. That is, one can choose to affirm rather than swear.
