I pray for people to keep their political and religious views to themselves. But there must not be a God because I keep having to watch people fight about this shit on Intrawebz forums.
True story, though: I'm having eye surgery for a cataract in a month. My main doc referred me to a specialist in Boston who is supposedly an expert. He's written papers and has performed tens of thousands of surgeries. I said, "Cool." Then my doc said, "Just so you know, though, he's a Born-Again Christian, so you might hear him saying a prayer in the operating room or he might offer you some small prayer medal, I don't know if that would bother you or affect your decision." I said, "Dude, I don't care if he's Born-Again or if he sacrifices goats in the operating room to a pagan god; if he thinks it makes him a better doctor, and it does, then I'm all for it. I can use all the edge I can get."
