When my cousin was dying I got tricked into a prayer group at the hospital. Shit was very awkward and in my head I was like "So, yeah... I'm sure this will work." She died a few days later.
Maybe it's because I don't believe and of course didn't pray so god spited the family. If only they had one more prayer she'd still be with us.
While I understand your standpoint, & see where you are coming from & not really trying to get into a religious discussion too tough... it helps some people out to pray when in need.
weather the prayer is answered or whatever they believe, I dont think it is really the point. I think it is more of a comfort thing than anything.
RIP to your cousin though, .....I would hope the fam was not praying for her to stay alive, vs praying for comfort for her in her time of need.
.....but I do not think you should have been tricked or forced into anything, breh.
