    Seems really weird to me that it would pop into someone’s head

      “Holy crap”, “God damnit”, 'Dear god", “What the hell”, these are all things I say regularly despite not believing in any holy things, gods, or hells. It’s simply a part of my vocabulary, which tends to happen when you grow up in a country surrounded by people that actually do believe in those things.

      Different cultures I guess? It’s pretty common to hear around me regardless of religious belief. In fact I’d think the religious would be less likely to use it in such a way?

      I think it’s just part of how languages work and people communicate, at least for people learning a second language.

      For example, if when you are learning English you hear a lot of people say “God dammit” when they are frustrated, then when you are frustrated you’ll probably also start saying the same without ever even thinking about God. It’s just a series of sounds when you learned to make to express frustration.

  I see more atheistmemes on All than I do religious stuff.

  This is a joke, most likely, given the sub and context.
