You know what they say: "There are a Lot of converts in fox holes." Meaning, that when life is threatened folks suddenly start praying for help from some god or the GOD. I suspect that also pertains to many folks getting close to their expiration date, and more so on their hospital bed.
I normally say "have a good day or have a great day" but I have no problem at all when someone says "GOD bless you" or "Have a blessed day." I don't consider it religion, but would not have a problem if it that was the intent. FAITH and religion are not the same. If someone has a problem with good wishes from someone, regardless of belief then that is on them, NOT the persons wishing them well. As far as I am concerned, a "blessed day" is the same as wishing someone a "good day." I doubt very much that someone saying "GOD bless you" is wishing you ill will. That would not make sense, would it?
