A question to all wise souls on this app. I hear many times even at workplace. People saying their gods name every now and then in sentences and conversations. (Ohh Jesus, Allah, Hey Bhagwan.) Is that allowed by US constitution? Would that be considered a religious propaganda?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.when i stub my toe, i might say "oh shit." i am not calling upon anyone to defecate. it's just a satisfying sound that expresses my feeling of the moment. if i hear something shocking and i say "oh jesus christ," first of all, i'm a jewish atheist; jesus was never my god; and second of all it's just a sound, as i am no more invoking that nonexistent personage than i am inviting sex if i drop an f-bomb.

The US Constitution forbids congress to establish a religion, and it sanctions the free exercise of religion.
Saying the word “God” in public is not Congress establishing a religion.

Considered free speech. Also, to non-believers, propaganda.
