I currently have a friend who is hospitalized with covid. He is isolated in the ICU and intubated but hanging on by a thread. His family keep asking me to pray for him. To call and pray over the phone. As an atheist I feel weird and disingenuous about this. I used to be very religious in high school but never told anyone that I’m no longer a believer. My friend isn’t religious but his family thinks I still am so that’s why they asked. I don’t want to lie and I don’t want to tell the truth because it might dishearten them. Saying things like “love and light” is nonsense to me.

What would you say in this situation?
