Agnetha: I've always found it funny when gods say "Oh my God." They should really be saying "Oh Me." Superman's "Great Rao!" (a Kryptonian Sun God). Interestingly, some minor Earth gods have chewed Clark out for invoking the name of Rao.

The Nausicaans' "Four Winds" (which is an extension of the original Shout-Out of their name) Savonigar's tegol, "free at last from the prison of his flesh, soared with the Wind, to the Heart of the Sky, where his ancestors awaited his arrival". Tamora Pierce, between her Tortall and Circle universes, goes to town with this trope. "Mithros, Mynoss and Shakith!" Others are "Goddess!", "Horse Lords!" and "Great Mother!" Duke Roger in the Tortall universe has a rather amusing bit of dialogue about how he will swear oaths by 'your' gods, who do kill people who break oaths made in their name, but since they have made it abundantly clear that they don't like him he refuses to worship them. People in the Empire usually swear by the gods, or Mother Moon (who is apparently one of the more popular deities).In The Killers of Krypton, planet Colu native Z'ndr Kol exclaims "Thank P'llcyd" after putting a Kryptonite-proof suit on Krypto.

Dwarf gods especially have no other reason for existing, and the dwarves claim to have no religion. Battle is an Art: While falling towards the forest floor in the chapter A Sketch is Created, one of the four falling characters shouts out, "OH MY GODS"

In the comic sci-fi novel Mallworld, people regularly swear by "the Pope's tits", evidently just so the author can toss the incongruity of a female Pope in on top of all the other weirdness.

Wonder Woman (1942): In the Golden Age Diana and Hippolyte would occasionally swear by the "Hounds of Zeus", a god they explicitly did not worship or even respect in that continuity. In The Soldier Son trilogy, which is set in a different world from the Realm of the Elderlings, Gernians swear "By the Good God" ... which sounds a lot like ordinary, real-world curses, but this is actually the name of the "current" deity (as opposed to the old god of balances and death).

Dogs of the Drowned City: The dogs are prone to exclaiming stuff like "Bless my treats!", "My snout!", "Thank my master!", or even "Chew my rawhide!" in exasperation, surprise, or relief.Her books made me cry of laughter when I was a teen, I had not laughed so hard in ages. I remember talking to my friend on the phone about it. No book had that effect on me.” A Court of Thorns and Roses: Characters regularly exclaim "by the Cauldron!" or refer to "the Mother".
