Me too. I've been trying to say "Thank goodness" instead, but it's still a weird phrase. Sometimes I'll go with "It's fortunate/lucky that..."
When someone sneezes, I say "Gesundheit" instead of "God bless you" (or the shortened "Bless you"). And when saying the Pledge of Allegiance (required at the beginning of Board Meetings where I work, since 9/11), I remain silent while others say "... under God..."
It bugs me that they sing "God Bless America" during 7th inning stretches in MLB. And that so many pro athletes look skyward and obviously are thanking god when they hit a home run or whatever.
Oops... rambling... must... stop...
