Do you use colloquialisms like “good lord” or “oh my god” despite them having religious orientations?

All the fucking time...old habits die hard. I do, however, make it a point to say "gazuntite" when someone sneezes.

I try not to swear, a good deal of my job is on the phone and I don't need "coaching" for swearing. Also being around small children, I don't want them repeating what they shouldn't be saying. But yes, I used OMG and JC and a few other choice phrases. When in traffic with moronic drivers all bets are off.

I got it from my dad, who got it from his parents. To me, the words have no meaning.

I do but I try to say “Oh my Stars” just seem to be more true than reference to gawd.

I do all the time but I was raised in the south and that stuff rolls off the tongue like baby, sugar and darling.

Pretty much the same. Lol

Yes. I also say 'god damn it' a lot, but that's more the fault of 'It's Always Sunny'. The one thing I have completely abandoned is 'god bless you' when people sneeze and often times people think I'm a total asshole because of that. I usually ask if someone is okay if I'm the only person around to avoid them thinking I'm a dick, but if there are other people there I just let them say it and keep quiet.

Let's not forget though that non-religious people also sing Christmas carols (alone in the car with Pentatonix on the stereo), eat Easter candy their mom made, dress up for Halloween, cook a romantic dinner for their significant other on Valentine's Day, etc.

If you asked if I was okay after I sneezed I would definitely give you a weird look lol. And I've taken to saying "Blesh you" so......xD
