You're right, I suppose that was not the best analogy. But regardless, that doesn't make what OP's dad did any less of a dick move. I grew up in a Catholic household, but neither side of my family was particularly religious. Even so, we said grace at big family gatherings like Thanksgiving and Christmas. The point of saying grace for us wasn't to go "hurr yay god", it was to say how grateful we were that we were able to come together as a family and share a meal together. If OP's father can't appreciate that sentiment, or at least respect it, then he is just a cold jerk.

So lemme get this straight: Christians are celebrating Christmas by having a large meal, which technically is a sin, so they are trying to undo that sin by casting spells (grace). While celebrating the birth of Jebus.

And people here are criticizing a bad ass mathematician who doesn't give a shit about such nonsense in his house? Sure is a lot of trollin going on.
