It doesn't mean God… you can never say: "Thank Gosh for this food" for example.
But it can be used in place of God in the phrase Oh my god, many people say that in the US because it is a sin to yell the sacred name of God out of anger. So instead of saying Oh my god and sinning the christians say oh my gosh

Gosh is not an actual word though and it can only be used in this context

Gosh is kind of slang word that’s more polite than using God as an expletive.
Used in sentences like “oh my gosh” instead is saying “oh my god”. Or “Gosh, that’s crazy!” Instead or saying. “God that’s crazy!”
Similar to how we say “Geez” instead of “Jesus”.
In the U.S. many parts are very Christian and they don’t believe in “using the Lord’s name in vain”.
It’s.. more polite.
