Atheists used to quietly not believe in God and now many of them just appear jealous of those with faith and start issues that hurt everybody. If you don't pray...well, just don't pray. Don't use nasties like "wtf".

I don't like how the world has changed in many ways.

So, Kitty, please keep praying for us and I will pray for Don.
The world has changed and now it seems fashionable to put down those who have faith especially by those who have no idea what genuine faith is. They can point out the few who in their humanity have fallen hard and so see all in the same light. I've worked with those in grief and in their last days seeing again the power and value in even just a little faith and the strength these people get from prayer. "Just in your mind..." Well if that is all you think...if it brings courage and strength to do what was beforehand impossible, what my friend is wrong with that? Many of us are at different stages of faith ...I support you all. Yes, keep praying.
