I'm an atheist. I'm not a proud atheist because I think that pride is dangerous. It allows us to see only the good in ourselves and none in others. I am a humble atheist. Which is to say that I love being atheist. It does give me strength in the same way that I assume God, Buddha, Allah, Jesus, etc. gives others strength. It is through atheism that I understand religion. Atheism is, after all, a religion. Perhaps the only real difference is that it's much more private. It isn't really considered an organized religion because why organize? We would get together and talk about nothingness. Fun. And honestly, it would be too tempting to get together and bash other religions. Which is why we don't. But that brings me to another point. If the only reason you get together with a congregation, is to talk about all the things you are not and put down other people and other religions, then I'm not sure you are doing yourself any good. Religion should be a source of strength and positivity. Negativity and insult only weakens the spirit.
That being said. It really isn't a compliment for you the Christian or Catholic to "pray for me" to find God or Jesus, since you probably wouldn't want me to hope and meditate on you becoming an atheist. Think about it. That's just another way for you to insert your Pride Penis where it doesn't belong. So please, put it away - you'll poke your eye out.
If you have questions about atheism you should ask. Questions are not insulting. Negative assumptions are insulting, but who would make those? Really. We're all adults. We should start acting like it.
