it is an idiomatic phrase- in formal, polite society it would not normally be used as it would be perhaps considered blasphemy or at the least "bad taste" by some people to mention the name of God "in vain". It may have its origins in religion, but these days it does not usually have a connection with religion. An atheist can use this expression with as much validity as a person who believes in God, It is a phrase used to express urgency, impatience, anger or exasperation.
I guess in a way you may be strongly and impatiently asking a person to do something, if not for your sake, then at least "for God's sake". E.g. "For God's sake, behave yourself" an angry father might say to his son if the son has annoyed the father with bad behaviour.

For god's sake, hurry up, means think of god as waiting for you, now hurry. In other words, even if you will not hurry up for me, hurry up for god (you know, that really important guy).
