At work we have a number of people that use the word "Jesus Christ" as a profane word. I complained to one of my supervisors at work and she told me that they couldn't do anything because saying "Jesus Christ" isn't in and of itself a profanity. Now if they said "God Damnit" then they could do something. I think that it isn't what you say but the way you say it that makes it a profanity. If you are using it as a profanity then it is a profanity. What do you think?

That's right, it depends on the context of the sentence. (Obviously, your co-workers are swearing.) I'd talk to each of them about it, since you've already gone to your supervisor. Depending on how you approach them, they may stop for you.

If it is being said in a bad way then it is profanity

Yes pretty much... any word/words are profane if they're used to offend or hurt someone in my opinion.

It certainly ain't the worst thing they could say.
Bill Cosby said he thought his name was "Jesus Christ" while growing up. And his brother was "Damnit"

No.
It used to be, but now it's just a common swear.
