Like others, I don't bow my head or close my eyes. I will hold hands though if that's what we're doing. lamariniere on "If you aren't religious...." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-arent-religious#post-2503853 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 03:51:19 +0000 lamariniere 2503853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I sit quietly.

But in a prayer situation, like a funeral, I would bow my head or even join in if its the Lords Prayer. I see no harm in it.

I will hold hands with everyone if they include that in their prayer. To me, it's just an issue of being respectful in someone else's home. tlcbaby on "If you aren't religious...." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-arent-religious#post-2503380 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:57:26 +0000 tlcbaby 2503380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just sit there quietly, I don't close my eyes or bow my head. runnerd on "If you aren't religious...." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-arent-religious#post-2503379 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:57:00 +0000 runnerd 2503379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I bow my head if I'm at a table (not if I'm standing), but do not close my eyes (lol, I'm a recent convert to non-religious so it's my little act of rebellion since my family doesn't know). regberadaisy on "If you aren't religious...." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-arent-religious#post-2503366 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:50:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2503366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Same. The harder thing is teaching the girls to be quiet to be respectful. I'm still not sure on where I stand on if they should stop eating or not. avivoca on "If you aren't religious...." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-arent-religious#post-2503364 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:49:37 +0000 avivoca 2503364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband bows his head to be polite.

DH's extended family prays before meals at holiday gatherings, I bow my head to be polite but I'm curious how others handle these types of situations.
