>belief that god isn't real?

I think atheism is moreso a lack of belief rather than denial of belief.

[Alyx Vance]

Yes, yes they do.
My dad who's an Atheist says it all the time, he also constantly yells "I SWEAR TO GOD" and all.
1st amendment.

Probably to mock the theists

[Dominator]

I say it all the time because I was raised as a Roman Catholic, but I don't really believe in any deity.

I have the right to say just about anything I want. If I want to say "Riddler, Riddler, jew niger" I can. Of course, there would be consequences for saying that in certain situations, but it wouldn't be illegal. Saying "oh my god" is an expression similar to "loving stuff." When I say "loving stuff" I don't literally mean that I'm having love with stuff, it's an explanation. Likewise, saying "oh my god" doesn't imply I believe in god, because it is an exclamation.

Damn right they do.  This is America.

[Electrk]

it's an expression, it's not to be taken literally.

[Narkro555]

Why not?

[Electrk]
