It depends on the situation. There is no one, defining answer to this question. Sometimes, there is no one to blame.
And yes, I use that term. I also say "OH, GOD!" during sex, because it rolls off the tongue easier than "OH, I'M NOT YET CONVINCED OF YOUR EXISTENCE!!!"

It depends on what goes wrong. If my mom crashes the car, I blame my mom. There are no accidents, just mistakes. If there's a war and people are dying, I blame the two parties who started the war, who can't get along. And is it really fair to blame god? It's not like he's an all powerful being who can foresee the future, and who cares very much about every living thing. If he is, why is there such a thing as famine, disease, torture? I don't blame god, I blame people.
And yes I do say god damn it. It just became a habit before I was an atheist. It adds emphasis to the conversation ya know!?

I think God damn it - is a vile expression - I only hear "christians" saying it, along with other vile terms you will find in biblical language.
I don't blame anyone when unforseen circumstances befall me. I just try to play the cards I'm dealt, no sense complaining, or blaming anyone. I think "christians" take the lead from Adam, who passed the buck, blaming his problems on God and the woman, the rest is history. That way, christians never have to account for thier own actions. (This will only go on untill the world is educated, then the time of Grace or non Judgment, will be over.) God is giving man a really - really - long trial, leaving no stone unturned, no avenues unchecked, yes, closing all thier loop holes.
My expressive words are - shtt, and fuc. I think that "christians" have filthy mouths.

This has the appearance of a fallacious question.
Atheists are all different people with their own thoughts.
When something goes wrong, sometimes someone is to blame, sometimes no-one is to blame.
If I forget to tie my shoes, and I trip, then it is my fault. If a branch falls in my way, and I trip, then it is no-ones fault, unless the branch was dangerous in a public thoroughfare and should have been pruned. Then it is the authority's fault, or the owner's fault, or the lack of care of the victim.
One atheist might blame the wind, one might blame the property owner, one might blame chance.
You see, there is no answer to your question.
What is the meaning of this question?

The question assumes that Christians blame God when things go wrong.
I, for one, do not blame God.
Usually, I only need to look in the mirror to know who to blame.

If it's something that I had to do with, I blame myself. If it's something that effects me, but I had nothing to do with, I blame chance.
No I don't say , 'God damn it ", but many Atheists do. That's not showing a belief in " god", it's just an expression.
When someone uses the old expression " by Jove", he's really not thinking of the great Roman God Jove " Jupiter ".
When someone refers to someone as a big lug, he doesn't mean the great Celtic God Lugh.

If there is blame to be given, I blame the person responsible, which is most likely me. I take responsibility for my actions, unlike Christians who blame Satan for "making" them do things.
And yes, if the situation calls for it, I say God Damn It... because it's a colloquial phrase that is part of common usage. It has no significance for me other than to express pain or frustration when no other words are appropriate.

I say god damn it...not God damn it. (Yes there is a difference) I'm not Atheist but I dont think it would be propper for you to blame God every time something bad happens because it is more than likely because of your own choices

I generally blame the person who actually caused the thing to go wrong in the first place. If no particular person or group of people caused it to go wrong, I blame no one. Things don't always go as planned. Such is the randomness of life.

No one to blame. Makes life allot easier, understanding I am completely responsible for the direction of my life, and have a choice to react positively, even when life sucks.
Bad things happen as part of the natural order of things.

I don't blame anyone - I deal with the issue and move on.
And yes, I do say "God damn it". I obviously don't mean it in a literal sense.
