Comforting people with your voice is a form of magic and atheists don't believe in magic, so they haven't developed any incantations.
We need to think of some then!
How about:
"On average, the chances of you dying in the next week are only .1%, so buck up!"
That's how I imagine them being sent when I say it. Glad we're on the same page
still more real than thoughts and prayers
I didn't know there were other care-creatures besides bears
The care Bears movie was most illuminating in that regard. Tenderheart Bear has a cousin: Lionheart Bear.
I was a kid in the 80s, during that sweet spot of Care Beardom.
The Care Bear Cousins was a spinoff that didn’t last long but made an impression.
You can't see it, but I am giving you an absolutely fierce Care-Bear Stare!
Daddy, that person is Staring at me
They're totally pissing.
