My sisters continually ask me to say Grace at Thanksgiving, knowing full well I don't believe in their god.
The last Thanksgiving's Grace went thus, "Thank you God for not existing."
That was last year. We'll see if they pick me to say Grace this year or not.
I always thought that saying grace was unusual. Why are we thanking god for this meal again (even if he existed)? He didn't provide it anymore than he provided us life or santa provided gifts on christmas (actually, he provided it less than santa, at least santa clims to give us gifts, but god has nothing to do with our meal).
