Why do athiests, agnostics, or nonbelievers say 'God Damnit" or "Jesus Christ!?" As we don't believe in him, why do we use his name as a curse word? Is it just a habit that we have picked up?
It just seems like if we don't believe in him, we shouldn't be using the name as a curse word...
Sorta mumbled, but hopefully you understand my point.

Meh! When you call someone an asshole, you're not literally implying that they consist soley of a rectrum, are you?
When you tell someone to Fuck Off, what exactly do you mean?
Don't try to philosophise too much on curse words...you won't get very far.
