Actually my mother believes that saying "Oh my God" is blasphemous and indeed I remember feeling guilty as a kid enjoying a song by the band Faithless called "God is a DJ".
But I was in a life/death situation not too long ago and actually prayed to god as an insurance policy, never mind saying the name "god" in expression of disbelief. After the situation was over I just fell on the floor laughing at myself.
I still celebrate Christmas as well and think Jesus had some decent thoughts for 2000 years ago - same goes to Socrates, you know. Religion is a part of the evolution of culture and language and it's a phase I needed to go through to understand non-religion as well.
Life is just a ride really.
