This is due to the mass amount of uneducated/nonreligious individuals or nonpracticing Christians, passing on bad habits to our younger generations.
This is a perpetual situation that can be broken in just 1 generation, IF that generation remains strong and educates those that may not have had a PROPER Christian upbringing and/or education on the true meaning of "taking the Lord's name in vain"
When my friends say "Oh my God" I respond with "Oh my....(insert friend's name)".
I've also responded with "oh, you forgot to kneel before you started to pray" When they look at me confused, I tell them, "You just said God, I figured you were preparing to pray"
Try passing on the word.
