Judaism explains it better. Throughout the day they have and do things that keep them focused on God and His Law. There are greater things then our troubles and desires, there is always a better way to live life, to work to be the best version of oneself.Actually, just sounds desperate and stupid. Like Christianity in general.
Yes. Imagine 25 seconds and prayers to Gods that religious people insist must be imposed on others. Imagine 25 seconds causing so much happiness in some as they parade their Gods in front of those who came to a business meeting.25 seconds. Imagine 25 seconds causing so much unhappiness in some while bringing peace to others.There is nothing to indicate that prayer before business meetings does anything to promote the business of doing business. Hold a prayer gathering before or after the meeting if you prefer. Some of us attend these meetings after classes and still have studies to attend to. Hold prayer gatherings on your time, not mine.
Are the Gods closer to religious people at business meetings?Judaism explains it better. Throughout the day they have and do things that keep them focused on God and His Law.

Most non-Church meetings that I attend where I live do not begin with a prayer. If I lived where Blues Man lives, I would make an appointment with those in charge and confide how miserable at least one man is over a short prayer to begin the meeting. Perhaps the members and others who wish to open with a prayer could, a minute before the meeting, pray in the hallway and then file into the meeting hall where others are seated after the prayer. Prayer, not even 25 seconds of prayer, is meant to cause misery to anyone. I sincerely feel for him. On the other hand, there are many who should not be deprived of joy in the Lord and remaining close to him.

God is always as close (or as far) as one wishes.Are the Gods closer to religious people at business meetings?
Your belief in one or more unique God(s) is not shared by everyone else. The largest portion of humanity goes throughout their daily life without a thought of your God(s). I think you may be missing the realization that rewards of self-satisfaction, kindness to others, joys and sorrows that affect the ebb and flow of our lives and beauty around us occur with or without your God(s) or anyone else's God(s).God is always as close (or as far) as one wishes.Are the Gods closer to religious people at business meetings?
I knew this from babyhood. There were both atheists and believers in my family.Your belief in one or more unique God(s) is not shared by everyone else.
The largest portion also goes throughout their daily life without a thought of genealogy, photography, gardening, teaching middle school students, chinchillas, or playing the harp. And?The largest portion of humanity goes throughout their daily life without a thought of your God(s).
I had that realization since babyhood. Some of us have all of that plus God.I think you may be missing the realization that rewards of self-satisfaction, kindness to others, joys and sorrows that affect the ebb and flow of our lives and beauty around us occur with or without your God(s) or anyone else's God(s).
.It's worth repeating... atheism's biggest lie is in believing one's life is better without God in it.
Such a risk you take at being given the wrong Gods.I knew this from babyhood. There were both atheists and believers in my family.Your belief in one or more unique God(s) is not shared by everyone else.

God meets us where we are.
No risk at all. God meets us where we are.Such a risk you take at being given the wrong Gods.

I suppose that depends on the God or Gods individuals believe in. The Gods are rather arbitrary and capricious in terms of who they bless with their heavenly favors. Too bad you have abandoned the Gods of Shintoism. They don't take kindly to being snubbed.No risk at all. God meets us where we are.Such a risk you take at being given the wrong Gods.

On the other hand, the gods given to you by your family unit may be the wrong gods.
And?
You could spend eternity apart from the real gods.
That safety net of "living in heaven forever" seems to be the "hook" of religious belief - not for everyone perhaps - but a great many believers. Fear of death, fear of the unknown, fear of living life that can be cruel and short are mitigated by the promise of a father figure who will care for us.

I think you mean it is too bad I wasn't chosen by the Gods of Shintoism. I guess I didn't meet their standards.I beg to disagree. One would have to experience both sides of the coin to know. I have..It's worth repeating... atheism's biggest lie is in believing one's life is better without God in it.
truthful decision, not a lie for them and there is a difference -
between living their own lives free of religion to reach fruition as possible than those that substitute a false religion for a non existent deity for them to reach fruition - christians. their false messiah. to ever be judged for their own works.
to accomplish the prescribed religion of antiquity for admission to the Everlasting - can not be accomplished in the belief of forgeries and fallacies.
