I'm not the type of guy, who watches every word he says. Of course I say thank god or god forbid, but without thinking about the meaning.

By the way, think of the week days. What about thursday and friday? Days of Thor and Frya. Actually the same in german. "Donnerstag" because Thor is called Donar in German and "Freitag", which again refers to Freya as she's called in German. What about Saturday and Sunday? One the day of Saturn, the other sacred to the sun or probably Sol Invictus.

There are countless religious referrences in our languages, the most of them certainly not christian.
