"Not use it out of habit," is probably a good place to look in the whole belief/practice/culture discussion. I wonder how prevalent that is?
I think it's a key place to look. Consider how often something bad happens and even non-religious people go "Oh God!", "Jesus!", "Damn it!"
For a non-religious example, I live next to a McDonald's - it's right on the block... but I never eat there, and when I'm thinking I need to grab quick food, it never comes up on my radar. It's not even that I'm super opposed to McDonald's - it's just that I live 3 blocks from Chinatown- and I'm used to eating there. I've lived here 8 years and McD's isn't on my mental radar.
I'm sure for some folks, the elevator becomes the same way.
