My mom (born in Ohio, moved to US South as a kid, baptized Catholic, Protestant as an adult) was VERY anti-swear words to the extent that proxies like “frick” were not allowed. The two absolute worst swears for her were fuck and goddamn, on equal standing. Jesus Christ was just below those. I wasn’t even supposed to say butt. At least her anti-swearing applied to slurs, too. I think it boiled down to her sense of propriety - undiagnosed autism and OCPD, she was taught a set of rules to follow to fit in well with society and be a good, inoffensive person, and she followed it all to a T.
