This could be about anything while being a host, not just religion.
If you want people to come over, it isn't always about "I am king here". Even in business, it is about pleasing being the host.
People keep missing the fact that I even said, if I had been the host and it had been my house, I STILL WOULD HAVE LET THEM PRAY. I wish everyone would stop skipping over that.
Sitting something out isn't going to kill them, or stop them from praying. And again, I didn't stop them, they still prayed. The only thing I didn't do was bow my head or hold hands. They still prayed. The only thing that annoyed me was the attempt to hold my hand. I had told them before I don't do that. It is no different than if I was the host of a party, and you said, "I don't like oysters" but I still cook them, I would still serve them to others, but would not offer them to the person who had already told me they don't like oysters. I don't like holding hands or bowing my head while others pray, that is not preventing anyone from doing that in front of me, merely for wanting to sit it out.
