Dear Eric: I have many friends who are religious, mostly devout Catholics and born-again Christians. I do not personally hold religious beliefs. Decades ago, I was deeply Christian, but my thinking has shifted to believe there is likely no God watching over us.
I do respect other people’s beliefs and would never try and push my point of view on them. What I’m wondering is how to respond when people ask me to pray for them or otherwise agree that “God has a plan” or something similar. I don’t share the fact that I’m not a Christian anymore, because it seems to upset people. So how do I respectfully respond without denying my own beliefs?
