The term "God" is used a lot in popular culture. I am polytheistic and I still had to train myself to modify the wording - "Gods dammit", "Oh Gods", "Sweet merciful gods", etc. Your compulsion to use the word "God" in everyday moments of phrasing is not a testament to your faith or lack there of, it is the imprint of the modern culture upon you, the product of brainwashing, yes brainwashing is something we are all subject to, it is the way we are shaped by society and given opinions.

As for your uncle or anyone else who tries to tell you God is real and wants you to act a certain way, I encourage you to ask if they believe in the story of Exodus, most modern religions do as bed rocks so safe to assume the answer will be yes. If he does say yes, then tell him that if God ever wants you to do or think something he can send someone to make it rain fire or turn water into blood, cause he is not shy pulling that sort of stuff about anything that is really important regarding his existence or wishes. Don't pose that just to shove it in his face, but keep that notion in mind next time it comes up.
