Swearing an oath is a religious way of saying, tell the truth and you will swear to do so upon god as your witness. Affirming means , do you swear to tell the truth as you know it. They provided this to people who don't believe in god, or simply don't want to swear upon god.

An oath is swearing to tell the truth, while an affirmation is stating that something said is correct.
