I do not waste mental or emotional bandwidth being concerned about other people's verbal tics or the prevalence thereof. I see no reason to do so.

It doesn’t bother me, but then again, I don’t call myself an atheist.

I feel your pain. Though, I’ve occasionally popped out of a ‘goddamnit’ moment of anger, if becoming additionally upset over the fact those remain my ‘go to’ words, if only subconsciously.. Then I’m mad at Religion - as it should be!

Good points, though, and I appreciate you clarifying the re-gigging of ‘our (unnecessary) pledge’ and the relatively recent graffiti on our money. Though I’ve ways of dealing with those … but again admit, the use of ‘god or j-c’ when needing a good cuss fit is irritating … dogdamnit

What about other religions? Does worshiping Odin, Thor and Freya bothers you? (days of the week)?
Does worshiping roman emperors(gods) in August bothers you?
And we don't even talk about common lexicon based on Roman and Greek gods.
Religion IS part of the culture, it puts marks on it. It WAS important for society organization.
If this bothers you, just stop using.
Of course I would support any candidate that proposes to take any religious reference out of government symbols and documents. But most of symbolism on its roots will end in some ancient religion or cult.
