It's one of my favorite expressions, but I don't want to offend any religions if I can help it.

Somehow I doubt it,but even if it did why should they be offended? I mean "Holy Cow",can everyone quit being offended?!
Just kidding,I wouldn't want to offend them either. In fact one of the few religious groups I wouldn't try to offend. Perhaps because they seem less "offensive" than other religions.

No it is a curse that comes from the story of the golden calf in that Moses destroyed with the original 10 commandments.

I think it refers to the golden calf that the Israelites created while Moses was up on the mountain receiving the Ten Commandments. I don't know its origin as a slang phrase though.

To V.
The expression holy crap comes from someone that ate a piece of toast that had the image of the Virgin Mary on it. A few hours later... holy crap.

I would think so, now that you mention it!
And think, if it were Holy Bull!
Someone would eventually, for man is also irreverently playful, would add to it : S**T! to the end of Bull.
It just wouldn't work . . well, I think it 'd work a lot of a H*ll!
Better!
