Is it really a faux pas not to follow that though? I am not religious in any sense, therefore it never crosses my mind. Don’t those who care kind of understand that?

In theory, sort off. The custom is to treat documents with the name of G-d with special respect, to the point of storing and burying them. Some would argue that this would not apply to a digital version seen only on a screen, only to its printout, otherwise, just clicking refresh would be an issue. Still others would argue that it applies only to versions of G-d’s name written in Hebrew.
