You can't stop the religious from praying for you - the most you can do
is ask them, out of politeness, to not say their prayers out loud in
your vicinity. With people like Rick, of course, politeness is not
something that can reasonably be hoped for. While in principle, it's an
invasion of privacy, it's a purely theoretical one, like the Mormons
baptizing non-Mormons posthumously. Unless God exists, there's no
meaningful effect, and if He does exist, Believers generally believe He
or She exercises a certain amount of (divine) judgment in deciding which
prayers to answer.
