I think you’re just wrong about this. you’re assuming that these words are inherently religious Islamic sayings as opposed to words used in everyday language in Muslim countries. for example, I’m Assyrian-Iranian (Christian) and me, my parents, and my grandparents all say “inshallah” and “mashallah” just because we’re from a predominantly Muslim country. it’s the same for all non-Muslim Middle Easterners. it’s really no different than saying “oh god” or “I hope to god” while being an atheist or Hindu or whatever. the word for god in our language is also “Allah”.
there’s nothing wrong with embracing parts of other cultures, just learn about them first and be respectful

Yeah I know it’s a general arabic word used in those countries, and it makes sense that you and your family use them. But when I hear white Americans who aren’t Muslim (or from the middle east, whatever religion) say it, it’s still weird. I’m sure it would be weird to go around saying “holy fucking Krishna!” or “praise Lord Ram to you.” I know where you’re coming from, but I’m like 1000% sure that most ppl saying it in the west are just signaling. I see it as similar to when Republicans say “Muzzlim” and Democrats say “Musslim” (they are signaling whether they are pro or anti Arab/Islam/etc).
