I'm not religious myself, but have some obsessive hangups about such
things as Hell, so "damn" and "hell" are about the worst words from my
point of view. What annoys me is when someone on TV says "God damn" but
they censor the "God" and leave "damn" in, when I would prefer it the
other way around! :D
