Any sentence with god's name is considered to be taking his name in vain

no, i dont think so. because taking it in vain is using gods name to say something bad to someone(such as, "god damn you." but saying "thank god" is just thanking Him, so its fine in my book.

some people would consider it taking his name in vain, but i really don't because it's thanking him if you mean it sincerely. if you are saying it as a joke, or in a sarcastic way, then it would probably be considered taking his name in vain. i mean it when i say it so it doesn't bother me.

thats not really using his name in vain. Because when you say other things that use his name there normally bad but saying thank god its bad its thanking him.
