Simple answer. Because in their minds your not a christian and going to hell. In truth though? Because your boss needs some kind of psychological defense mechanism when faced with a non believer. In truth there are worse defense mechanisms chirstians employ, and while in your mind it may seem insulting, its a weird way of saying they care about you.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
