6000 years of humanity and we ARE programmed to believe in a deity. Whether it was the sun, the moon, Norse gods, we worship something of one form or another.
Even atheist, agnostics are programmed to worship either themselves or idols such as musicians or politicians. It is our basic nature to worship the Creator. He who made this delicate balance on a planet that provided trees to bear fruit, air to breath, water to drink and animals to provide food to man.
People are being taught to go against their basic programming of worshipping their One True God and believe in themselves and their own knowledge acquired in the short amount of time spent on this planet. And yet they use OMG to express disbelief, despair and even ecstasy.

As an atheist, I don't worship anyone or anything. In my opinion, nothing is deserving of worship, not a politician, not any person or thing.
I'm not programmed in any way to worship anything. If you believe you are that is fine, but you do not speak for other people.
OMG is an expression. It's widely understood. There's no meaning beyond that anymore than there would be for "Fu*k!"
