Atheists: How do you feel when someone prays for you or makes some other nice religious gesture? Guilty? Awkward? Annoyed? Honored? Loved?

Generally, when people say something like they're going to pray for me, I consider it performative. "Oh, look what a good person I am that I'm praying for you."

If I have some reason to believe that they are sincere about their concern and this is how they're expressing it, I'm grateful that they're thinking of me, even if they have to mix it up with their fiction.
