Legal Inquiry: Atheists and Affirmations (Not Oaths)

Affirmations.  Today I had a meeting with my attorney, who because of health reasons, is retiring and recommending my case to another lawyer.  I previously instructed his secretary that I want to affirm.  It was my understanding that she understood that, and she said that she would let him know.  

This morning I signed an affidavit, without reading it (that is on me--yet he did explain to me what its purpose is and what it was about) releasing himself from my employ.  The only problem I have is this one line: "I swear the above statement is true, so help me God."

I feel ignored and betrayed.  What can I do about it?  I thought about writing an addendum asserting my rights as an American citizen with no religion.  Would that do any good?

Does anyone have any advice?

Just draw a line thru "god" and initial it.
