    Some don't, or try not to, but in general I would say that many (maybe most) atheists do use phrases like that. Even for theists, many of those type of phrases (like "God forbid!", "[God] Bless you!" and "God d--- it!")aren't taken literally and are just set phrases, usually expressing emotion. The same goes for many atheists. For many, it's just a habit, sometimes due to having used those phrases as theists previously, and many times just because they are common phrases in English.
