I think you did the right thing. That lady was probably trying to offer whatever help she could, and that's what she had available to her. You accepted it graciously, and now she feels like she did a good deed.

Me too. Atheists who are so judgmental and mean to believers are just as annoying as religious nutbars who are judgmental and mean to non-believers.

I'm not an atheist, but I'm also not a Christian. I still think it's nice when my Catholic grandma tells me she prays for me, and I thank her when she tells me 'God bless you' on the phone. She never tries to impose her beliefs on me, and even though she knows I live with my boyfriend, and that I'm not a good christian, she's still sweet and nice to me, and that's really all I care about.
