What about the sceptical "WTF!"?
Or the ironic "O, RLY?"

Oh my stars??...lol

Ha, reminds me of a teacher I had who would say, "Oh my stars and garters!" To this day I have no idea where that phrase came from.

I found this, so I guess it has nothing to do with astronomy or hoserie: [phrases.org.uk]

Now that one rolls off my tongue.

I don't use that expression. Doubtless, there are many alternatives to suit the occasion.

I worked with a religious woman who used "OMW" for "oh my word" just so she didn't even hint at taking her God's name in vain — despite easily being able to mean "oh my goodness." I didn't mind so much untill one day she spoke "OMW" and it sounded so forced and unnecessary, and was an obvious display of "I don't even say 'OMG' because that's what a good Christian I am." It was one of the few time I saw her wear her religiosity on her sleeve.

So, I don't really have an equivalent phrase. I don't want to go out of my way to have secular terminology for casual expressions. On the other hand, I avoid this phrase — mostly because I think it makes me sound like a teenage girl.
