I agree...I was merely pointing out some thing to ponder for unbelievers. I have heard many preachers from all over the globe say this about cursing or using the Lord's name in vain, along with Christianity being the only known religion with a Savior. All other religions require something from the individual to pay for his/her own sins.
This is the problem with not applying rationality and reason.
Yes, Demons possessing/influencing people would explain people all over the
world cursing using 'Christian swear words'.
However this could also be explained by the fact that Christianity was spread
around the world by the European empires and they exported their bad language
with them.
One of these explanations doesn't require the existence of unproven supernatural
beings, and is something you would expect to happen if they existed or not.
Even if demons did exist, you wouldn't need them to explain people saying "oh god"
all around the world.
So no, this doesn't give anything for unbelievers to think about.
You also wrap this up in a whole bunch of ignorance...
"Christianity being the only known religion with a Savior..." ..... seriously?
