If you've told them before you don't pray (or at least that you don't pray in the manner they suggest), then yes.

If, as with what Andrew recounted as having happened to him, they are telling you to pray as a passive-aggressive way of telling you are a sinner, then hell yes.

But it general it's not normal to get mad when prayer is suggested.  I think prayer, when done right, is a practice that can be helpful even to atheists.  That's because prayer can be a means of reflection on what we are thankful for, what problems we need to deal with, and of dedicating ourselves toward promoting the general welfare for ourselves and our posterity.
