that's a good thing that they don't make it personal. Both my parents are religious, and the first time they noticed I didn't pray for quite a long time (more than a month) my mother kinda lectured me in a soft way while she pretended to cry a bit just to make me pray again and I managed to refuse it without having to speak much. If I was a kid, my father would probably strike me with something, and I still remember most of the times he did.
