From alle@ihuxb:
Many millions of non-Jewish people also use the expletive Jesus Christ,
including atheists, agnostics, existentialists, members of non-Judaic
faiths, etc.   Why did you phrase your question in such a prejudiced
manner?
~~~~~~~~~~

Most Jews I know (myself included), think very little of Jesus Christ
and the concept of Christianity, yet they constantly refer to his name.
I wasn't claiming that there was anything hypocritical about this, just
that it was interesting and I wondered why.  I have not had enough
experience with people of non-Jewish non-Christian faiths to be able to
comment on them although I'm sure many of them do to.  You are right
about the athiests though, that was an error of omission.
Not to mention the athiest Jews!
