> When you can no longer say 'I'm praying for you'
Except, you can. I'm essentially an atheist, and if a friend said he's praying for me I'd take in the spirit given, friendship and love.
Certainly not everyone feels that way, and it's case by case, but I think in all things on both sides of any interaction we can all mostly just lighten up.
