That's right... because we all know that atheists burst into flames whenever they utter to word \"god\".

Ah yes, from antiquated times when they thought illnesses were caused by God's wrath, or demons invading your body when you accidentally sneezed your soul out. (I kid you not)

I trust you don't think any of that's true too!

I say \"bless poo\", but I can assure you that I'm not really offering blessings to fecal matter.

This atheist probably also said \"please\" and \"thank you\"! Poser...

Big deal. I've known plenty of Christians who say \"gesundheit\" when someone sneezes, even though they don't have a clue what the word actually means (since they don't speak German). Either way, in that context it's just an idiomatic expression of supportiveness for someone showing a symptom of illness.

Politeness? No, this must mean God exists.

In Danish, almost all our profanity is Christianity-related. English has 'fucking', but we don't have anything like that (although 'fucking' is often used by the younger generations). And since everybody swears in Denmark - even the politicians on tv, we have no choice but to use Christian profanity, such as 'for fanden' (for satan) and 'sgu' (so God, or God help me). That, however, doesn't change the fact that Denmark is one of the least religious countries in the world.

Oops, huh?

I say "Holy cow" too. It doesn't mean I'm Hindu. It's just a figure of speech.

Not exactly compelling evidence of anything, except that your friend is polite despite being (gasp!) an atheist.

Me, I use words like "Oh God" and "Jesus Christ" numerous times a day (especially when driving in traffic). Doesn't mean I believe they exist.

It's called a lexicon, the current state of speech of any particular language. If it's understood by most or all, even Atheists will use them. It's a habit from your youth usually. I don't respond at all to someone sneezing myself but if I heard a Christian or Atheist say "bless You" I'd just see no issue.

Are you saying we can't speak english, or react in traditional ways? Fuck you. The last people to police my language will be you lot.
