64. I think you should ask people first.

I know most people wouldn't mind, but my family, for example, wouldn't appreciate it. We're sensitive about the way a lot of people automatically assume everyone thinks there is some sort of deity and that "prayer" is supposed to be a way to communicate with said deity. I know you mean well, but, you asked. We're the type of people, and I know we're not alone, who are tired of the presumption of religion in society. Plus, sorry -- "secular prayer beads"? I don't get that. If something is secular it has nothing to do with prayers, or am I wrong? :shrug:
