If you use the name, Jesus Christ, as a byword or in other words, if you use it lightly, it is swearing, cursing or blaspheming. Remember, this is the name to which every person will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord. It's indeed risky to use it any way other than reverently!

Yes.
One type of profanity is the misuse of the sacred.
This category includes
+ Using God's Name in vain (including Jesus Christ)
+ Damning people and things to hell
+ Reviling heaven
+ Blaspheming
The Commandment, "Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord thy God in vain," prohibits any such misuse.
"Let not your mouth form the habit of swearing, or becoming too familiar with the Holy Name. ... one who swears continually by the Holy Name will not remain free from sin." (Sirach 23:9).
With love in Christ.

only if you take it in vain...
just don't use it when you're angry and feel like swearing...
