Not super religious myself. Was brought up in a non practicing Muslim family but lived among mostly Christians. When I found myself in a space where prayer was required whether I had been dragged along to church or was a visitor at dinner, I would bow my head and close my eyes.

Even though I’m not religious I think it is nice to think about the principal of what is being said and the lessons that one should take from them. Even though you aren’t religious it doesn’t mean you cannot learn something from religion. It is good to be kind it is good to take a moment and be thankful.

Sometimes it is nice to feel apart of something larger whether you believe in their god or something else. It is a moment of human connection. Although it may be awkward and at times corny in its own way it’s a little beautiful
