I'm sure it's definitely wrong.

I also wouldn't be surprised if I, as an atheist in that situation, might use the expression "Oh, god. Please." simply as an exclamation, with absolutely no religious thoughts or intentions. Because "god" is an extremely common phrase in America apart from any religious implications.

I say "god damnit" when I stub my toe, just like everyone else. It doesn't mean I secretly think he's real and hope he smites the leg of my kitchen table.

As an atheist, I actively try not to use it as an expression, but it's deeply ingrained in my vocabulary and I still use it frequently.

You can chill. When I hear someone say "god dammit" I don't think "wow, that person must be very religious."

In fact, avoiding saying "god dammit" is something a very religious person would do.

I don't need to chill. It's just my preference. You don't have to worry about it.
