Also, years ago "Christ on a cracker" was popular, but to show solidarity with other religions, I proclaimed instead "Buddha on a Triscuit". Feel free to use that.
Well, Buddha existed (I'm pretty sure), and Jesus also probably existed (although not the son of a God if he did), but I would still refrain from using those since they don't quite roll of the tongue.

Oh yeah and I forgot to ask, what about using the term 'hell'?

What the hell is wrong with using hell? You could always substitute "fuck", but "hell" is like "fuck"-lite.

Example- Good friend spills your drink- "Hey! What the FUCK!" or "Hey! What the HELL!" The latter sounds less threatening.

It's not like if you use Hell as a swear the Atheist mafia will appear and strip you of your Atheist card.
Alcohol may have been a factor.

Taxation is theft.
