Sorry, you misunderstood the question.Thank you.
I mean, it makes them feel better and it's not like it does any harm.
The question is, for atheists, when people tell you that they're sick or a family member or friend is sick, you can't say "I will pray for you."
What do you say instead?
My thoughts are with you. You are in my heart. Positive vibes your way.
There are many things non religious people can say that are full of love, compassion, caring. You don't need a deity for that, just a heart.
I suppose you can show love to your fellow human being without believing in God.
But that seems to me the harder way of going about it.
