How difficult is prayer? One must display wisdom at all times. Infact, you can be an atheist and only you will know.

bro. they impose everything in Nigeria as long as they are the boss and you're not. People should learn to keep their religion to themselves or their own circle of religious people.

Every Monday morning, the company I work with holds a meeting. Before the meeting starts, the Manager appoints someone to pray.
As an atheist, if you're called upon to pray, what would be your response? Considering how sensitive the topic of Religion is, especially in Nigeria. And also considering the fact that not everyone is open minded.

What would be your response?

I call atheists fools because the Bible says

Atheists are mistakes of environmental and cultural probabilism.
They are confused folks who think rejecting the rationality of a superior being would make them be considered as superior thinkers.

In a workplace, they should not be let to participate in any Spiritual deliberation before their godlessness brings the organization down.

Deep down even the atheist believe in something. They know there's a God but the arrogance of their human intelligence is their curse.

In as much as I am not an atheist, I do not support the idea of mixing religion with business is rubbish. Also, people's right to freedom of thought, religion should be respected.
In spite of being religious does not mean the boss would not cheat.
In market places u see traders organize fellowship yet they wud still cheat, sell fake or expired items.

I am religious, but I would firmly refuse if called upon to pray in that way. I simply would tell them to pick someone else. I never even joined the prayer group. If they know your worth, they will overlook it. If they do not appreciate your worth, then you shoukd not be working there in the first place. Tell them that you do not want to pray, simple.


Be claiming worth there

Bring down which fuckin' wretched organization? grin

The world's most valuable companies are actually owned by Atheists, you d**t!

Alphabet's (Google) Larry Page and Sergey Brin are atheists.

Facebook's Mark Z. is an atheist.

Microsoft's Bill Gates is an atheist.

Warren Buffet, arguably one of the richest and greatest philanthropists the world has seen is an atheist.

If only Nigerians channeled their energies into researches, more researches and factual intellectual endeavours instead of believing in a non-existing "God" and attending church programmes upandan, the country would be a better place.

All my colleagues at work know I'm an atheist. Even my immediate boss knows. Sometimes, I try to prove the implausibility of a "God" to them but their minds seem made up. Gullible primates!

OP, anytime you are called upon to lead them in that fuckin' charade called prayer, simply shake your head in discordance. And if they insist, tell them point blank that you are an atheist.

I once lost a job opportunity 'cos I told the MD I was an atheist when asked of my religion.

Stand by your convictions and beliefs. Never be cowed down by no one.

Life's too short to care about what others think about you.

As a matter of fact, I stopped giving a Fucck a long time ago ...

Lol... this is the problem with you guys. You're always quick to anger. You don't shout to win arguments, you use facts/points that's why atheists always win you.

Atheists own companies and employ people too. They don't force their staff not to pray so i don't see why an atheist will be forced to pray if the boss is a theist. Live and let live, no need judging atheists, allow your god to do his job.

You call him atheist wannabe, are you sure you're not a theist wannabe? can you beat your chest and say you're 100% faithful to your god
even if he is not 100% faithful to his God at least his better dan some dumb atheist who believes in nothing but his lame self.

I do not pretend about my position on issues. I know my worth and it is not attached to my religious stance.
I was only employed because I am qualified to work there. So if knowing that I share no same belief with my employer will make me less qualified, then I take my leave.

At my work place currently, every Friday from 8:00am-9:00am ( 1 long hour), they hold fellowship where ''men of god'' are often invited to come minister. I had to communicate my boss, telling him where I stand in terms of religion. He weighed my inputs against the effect of having an Atheist in his organization. The outcome I resume work 9:00am every Fridays, and it has been that for exactly one year and three months today.

Do not pretend about who you are, because you fear you may get fired.
