Terms of exclamation
Have you ever wondered how religion has influenced our language just try exclaiming!!!!
- OMG!
- Good God!
- Oh God!
- Jesus Christ!
- Gor blimey! (God blind me)
- Crikey! (Christ's keys) etc etc
Does anyone have any decent non-theist exclamations?
Thanks : )

I quite fancy the ones used in the Harry Potter books:
"Merlin’s pants!"
"what in the name of Merlin’s most baggy Y Fronts"
"by Merlin's saggy left..."

It isn't though? You are calling to God to damn something that you are not happy about.

I am 55 , so kind of OLD.. so, sorry if these sound antiquated, but I usually say "Oh my goodness" and "oh dear" and "good grief". They are really neutral, don't upset anybody, and I suppose they make me sound like Aunt Bea on the Andy Griffith show, but what the heck...:)

They are indeed neutral and as such, very worthy. I feel however that they are so close to Oh my God, Dear God, and Good God that they may fall into the calling God by proxy.
