As an Agnostic, I don't mind this at all. I'm not so ignorant as to spit in someones face when they wish me good will, especially in times of need. Sometimes that's the only kind of support one can offer. It helps people stick together. I pity those not mature enough to see this.

I'm not religious but I am poor , So I know what it's like. There are people who are so poor that things like Starbucks are luxury foods. FYI, religious people are MORE likely to donate. you should educate yourself before speaking.

Exactly. As an agnostic, I often envy people of faith because I can see just how much it helps them through difficult times. Sometimes it’s a person’s only lifeline, the last thread keeping them together. Who are we to quash that cherished belief?

That is a very mature view that usually takes a lot of wisdom and experience to come to.
I liked the way you were able to fit that into a tweet. More people need to recognize this.
