Taking the Lord's name in vain isn't a sign of being "pro-religious."
Nor is it necessarily a sign of being anti-religious. As I said, it's just a typical American double standard, where the Name is used reverentially in a religious context, and as profanity in a secular context. People are inconsistent. -

I totally agree, I can remember my whole family and all my parents friends always using it when I was a kid. I believe it was just a common use of cussing back then. I guess even to this day really but I only really hear it now days from people who were teenagers or older in that era.

Didn't even notice until you mentioned it. Sounds like you just have a personal grudge with the word so you noticed it more than others, and then felt the need to whine about it.
I was raised a Buddhist, am pretty much Agnostic now, but I still say "JC" and "JFC" when I'm shocked, scared, etc. It's just been instilled in me despite it being part of my upbringing.
