Like the above says its a force of habit. This is kind of something I find irritating as well. Since when people use expressions like "God forbid" or "Oh my god" it is not saying they believe in god or they want you to believe in god. Using expressions from the bible too does not automatically discredit the point they were making if you are not in fact Christian.
I sometimes use expressions to sum up what I want to say instead of trying to explain it in a paragraph long explanation of my work. It does not mean I am saying "You all need to be Christians" it is simply an expression. These expressions are cultural and often learned early on in childhood.
How many times have you actually heard the phrase "Oh my god" or some variation of it? Does that mean you need to go to church, read the bible, or worship the lord? No, but these are expressions most people use and since its so common its not really a reflection of your religious belief or standings but more a reflection of your environment.
If atheists don't believe in God, why do they say "oh my God" ?
