    Everyone with or without religious beliefs should be afforded the same courtesy

    If it's ok for one group to push theirs on others then the others should be allowed to push theirs back, to not do do is simple discrimination.

    It’s ok not to believe in God.
    I don’t, I take responsibility for myself.

    Didn’t know or care where I was before I was born, don’t know where I’ll be after I pass.
    All I know is the here and now, and I do my best, and prop up others that can’t.

    As a “good person”, I’ll be noticed and taken care of, if not I’ll be dead anyway and I had a rewarding Life.
    All good...

    No-one is 'pushing' anything, though. Rob (the OP) simply offered others his best wishes for good health and to stay safe in these unprecedented times, and expressed them in a religious way. It's was done simply through kindness and concern for his fellow man.

    Therefore, I'd suggest that most reasonable people would react positively to that, and welcome it, rather than see it as an affront to their sensibilities.

    I lost faith many many years ago..just too much shit in my life, one thing after another... I find it extremely difficult to believe. I can see though, how a lot of people have faith and find comfort in religion...My 24 year old daughter and her man, frequented chruch every Sunday, before this bloody virus hit... They are the youngest people there every Sunday. The church is frequentd by older people..much older...I asked my daughter what she gains by going to church and she replied, I don't know, but I get a feeling of calm when I come out after the service...
