Although litttle sayings we have like "oh my god" or "god forbid", I hear both atheists and theists say, sometimes the use of god in everyday language goes a bit too far. The horrific hurricane that recently struck was of course credited to god by Pat Robertson and other dogmatic fundamentalists, yet hatians also credited some of the people who were saved to god. God, was not responsible for these actions, but people were. In fact, I see this as a recurring theme in society these days, when people were saved it was "because of god" and the saviors were simply "god's tools". Now believe in god or not, this is definitely going too far with god in society. Instead of focusing on the supposed greatness of god, why not instead focuse on the basis of soemthing which very much exists in reality? In a world ridden with greed and terror, god may be a source of hope, yet the least religious countries are often the most sucessful. Anyways, we must seek out goodness in humanity and realize that their are stil people willing to guniely do good for the sake of humanity, not god. Quoting the daily news
