If they already know you're an atheist, does that make it more inconsiderate for them to invite you?

I wonder how many slave owners have referred to verse 21 to remind them to properly beat their slaves. As long as they can get back on their feet after a day's rest then the beating was fine.

I wouldn't say it is unethical on it's own. The promotion of believing extraordinary claims based on faith is the biggest danger I see from popular religious beliefs.
