I may say a swear word here and there when in private conversation with a friend or family member, but usually don't in a more public setting.
I can't really explain why, since I don't think it's necessarily immoral to say a swear word (unless you're using it to attack, belittle, or berate someone else). I guess it's just not how I was raised. Doesn't have much to do with my faith I don't think. I don't know if atheists swear more than theists, though that's a good questions.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
