At best it's not following a rule of a particular religion about taking the Lord's name in vain. Sorta like me eating bacon - against the rules of someone else's religion, but not offensive to Jews or Muslims in and of itself.
It's apples and orangutangs.

You do realize that the Christ is the very centre of Christianity and the source of my faith and my own namesake as a Christian, right? You don't want to follow that, don't want to honor his name or refrain from using it as a cussword or in disgust, that's up to you. I'm not calling for your job either. But pretending you are respectful to me and other Christians in the language you use would make no sense for you to claim. Let's be consistent at least. That's my point.
