Anyway - just to sort of add to your point - I think that the term "god" has also become SO common place and some people use it not even realizing there is a religious connotation...it's become just a phrase to them...
Examples: "god bless you" when someone sneezes, "oh god  " when something is absurd or whatever, "thank god" -when something has a good outcome - though not everyone really actually means, "Thank God"
Does that make sense? I think another great example is, "god dammit"
I think that even non-religious folks use these phrases because they've become so common....just a thought  |
Not to speak for dissention, but my impression is that he's speaking of genuine religious expression and not the commonplaces such as the above which, you're right, have little to no religious meaning for many people nowadays.
