Reply #4: I really dislike it

[Orrex]

Everyone who knows me well enough to be in a position to "pray for me" knows that I'm atheist, so any offer to pray for me is tantamount to saying "my beliefs are correct and your atheism is wrong." If they still want to pray for me without announcing it, that's fine, but it makes no difference to me one way or the other.

I would greatly prefer the secular "you're in my thoughts" or something similar, if they absolutely feel that they must make some statement of spiritual support.

I know that no offense is intended, but simply to assume that prayer is desired or appreciated is to demonstrate a real lack of consideration.
