We are a worldwide social network of freethinkers, atheists, agnostics and secular humanists.

Anybody has any idea how to replace this expression by something else ? When I'm surprised, or when a mishap happens or when a dreadful event or a really bad news occurs, the first words that I say (they don't actually come to mind, it's just habit) are "mon dieu" in french or my god.  I really wish I stopped saying this, I don't know if other atheists have this bad habit?

Any idea how to replace this stupid interjection ?

At home we say "oh my Science," or "oh my Dawkins." These would probably attract at least confused looks in public, but makes the point in atheist company. Good question. I suppose you could go with:
Amazing!
No shit?
Unbelievable!
I'm speechless
Really?
I'm shocked
Holey crap

I had an uncle when I was a child who always said "judas priest." Webster says it is a euphemism for jesus christ but always reminds me fondly of my black sheep uncle.

=+)

Or Golly Gosh.

Bloody heck!

Bugger

Plurry hell.

Are some of what I use. 

Isn't OMG technically blasphemous?

would heck be OK ?

Heck should be OK. Because it has several meanings on of which is hell!

Oh! golly gosh! as well.

I like to say "Oh my Dog!" sounds good and spelled backwards :)

I like it too...

That's great!

Specially ironic when you don't have a dog.

I tried to use "What the Frack" but I usually start with "Oh my.." followed by "Sagan" or "Hitchens" or any hero that springs to mind.

I personally like "holy fucking shit" for a really bad event. The Onion popularized this right after 9/11. Talk about dark humor...

I say OH MY GOD DAMN!
