For all you atheists, agnostics and humanists who have lost your way - please read this

6. I know what you are saying, but

I don't see the harm in just letting the family have their little grace before a meal instead of causing a scene. It is just polite and you should already have known this would happen when you agreed to have dinner at their house. I guess that I am not a radical atheist. I do get upset about public prayer that happens at places where I don't expect it, but I am not going to be a horse's ass at a family gathering. As long as they don't ask me to lead a prayer.

Going along to get along is not a sin, nor does it change my nonbelief system. It just doesn't matter. And I am not out to "convert" anyone like you-know-who would.
