Of course. We have no concept of blasphemy so it's allowed. Why waste a good cuss word?!
If I spelled out the variants I sometimes use as well (often denoting common body parts and ownership thereof) my answer would get reported, so I won't. Bottom line is, yes, Christ's name is fair game to use in vain.

Do christians ask stupid questions to make people mad?
To answer your question: Yes, it's an expression. Doesn't mean you have to believe in it. And I must say, I feel quite good when I use them. Its not limited to those with religion.

Yes. An atheist friend of mine smashed his hand really hard, and you should've heard the pantheon of deities he was invoking. :) And they're just as prone to using those phrases during moments of passion as anyone else.

Yep. They are common swear words in American English. Their use is not limited to the superstitous.

Yes. Usually more colourfully phrased.
