Distinguish between literal and hyperbolic use: when the target is a religious figure, belief, or sacred object, the word carries its full weight of religious offense. When the target is something ordinary (a price, a building, a meal), it is dramatic exaggeration — similar to calling something 'sinfully good' or 'wickedly expensive' in English.
