A new word "heck"

I learned a useful (at least for me) word the other day. It's "heck".

How in the heck ----- ?
What in the heck ----- ?

An expression that I thought is the most useful is "What the heck!". Hmm... I can use it in many ways.

But I wonder if I can say it on business, or in the situation where I should be polite.

    Haha, i think "heck" was created by Christians so that the could "heck" when they really mean "hell", because its a sin to say God's name in vain, and also a sin to say other words in the Holy Bible in vain, such as "Jesus", "hell", "damn", ect.

    Heck is actually much more polite than hell, so its used often, even in professional situations.

    Oh, really? Saying those words is a sin for Christians!? You told me "heck" is more polite, so I can use it without constraint.(^o^)
