My 8 year old nephew will be saying grace, in English, Norwegian, and German, to honor his heritage. Don't you feel compelled to tell the lad he is talking to himself? He must be delusional. Why not wise the kid up?
And three languages? Doesn't God know how to understand simple English? LOL

Well, I imagine your deity would understand English, or Hebrew, or Aramaic.
As for me being compelled...I am compelled to let each person find his or her own path. Of the nine folks who will be at my Christmas dinner, only two are atheists. The rest are Lutherans. Majority rules at dinner, especially on Christmas day.
I've never spoken of my beliefs to my nephew, and will not unless asked, and then only after he is an adult. His mother and father are, and should be, his source of such information.
If anyone asks, I can add grace in French, Russian, and Spanish, using a traditional blessing from each culture. I've done it before.
You have a strange idea of what an atheist is, my antagonistic Freeper. I don't care what others believe.
