Or do they just not see themselves in them?

And how are you showing us love and respect that way??? would you find it insulting if I would say I pray for you to become agnostic/ atheist? Most of us feel strongly about our non-belief. I'm happy with my choice of NOT picking a religion to be part of. So stop wasting your time and help someone that actually needs it. Sign some petitions to support a good cause, me being a non believer will not affect this earth in any way. It definitely shouldn't affect your live any. and your wasting your time. But if you got nothing better to do at the moment go right ahead, as it is also not hurting me :oD

I keep these people in my heart and prayers, although I am not disciplined enough to have a specific time or schedule for any of my prayers. Even though it does seem to cause some distress on the part of those prayed for (see all the thumbs down that The_Cricket_VT mentioned) this is not why I do it. It is like a mother who wipes her child's scratch with antiseptic; she is not doing it to cause pain.

I don't set a time aside to pray specifically for atheists,skeptics, etc. But I do include them in my prayers.

Personally, I include everyone in my prayers at some time or another. It just depends what I'm inspired by at the time or what happens to be on my mind. I always pray for those struggling with religion, though, who are lost or detached from God or choosing to ignore His presence in their life and in the world.
Hope this helps! ;-)

I do not have a time set aside but I do pray for them particularly when reading some coments on here.

Wow. Seems that lots of people engage in deliberate, professional time-wasting. Somebody really should tell them that praying doesn't work; it's been demonstrated quite well by science...

Geez, everyone who has answered so far has gotten at least one thumbs-down for saying that they pray for atheists, skeptics, and other non-Christians.
So I guess I'd better prepare for mine.
Yes, I do pray for atheists, agnostics, skeptics and other non-Christians, because I care about them, and because I used to be a skeptic myself.

There apparently are some; I have seen them in this forum. It is as much a waste of time as any other prayer.

When Christians want to help, they do everything except something helpful.
Apostle Jeff- I hope you find your way to sanity once again, and walk the path of reason from which you have so tragically strayed
