God is a curse word, isn't it?

[festive1]

I use "god" frequently when annoyed or frustrated. This has sparked much debate between my husband and I as to it's standing as a curse word. I contend that it's not as I don't believe in god, it's just another word to use that has the added benefit of pissing off the religious. He contends it is as I acknowledge a good portion of the public would consider it a curse. We're still undecided on whether using the word "god" is a curse or not, however, he does concede it is better than simply saying "fuck" all the time. Although in conjunction, it's a fine curse, example, "god-fucking, damnit!"
