They are much too religious!  I speak those languages, and I refuse to
use those words because using them would endorse religion.

                            or the English "Goodbye".

"Goodbye" is not like the other two.  It was derived from "God be with
you," but in the process it was contracted so much that the
relationship is not obvious even when explained.  English-speakers in
general do not see any relationship between "Goodbye" and "god".
Thus, in practice "Goodbye" is not religious.
