Even if I have no faith in God, I can understand that a Christian may feel the most intense comfort from their prayer, and as such I won't try to shove my personal beliefs onto them in some insistence that I believe absolutely everyone would be happier if they experience what I experience. The kind of pushing "I'm sure you will be better off if you follow my way" is the same trap that obnoxious religious recruiters and street preachers use. Just because you don't have a reason not to love lucid dreams doesn't mean that there isn't one that exists for other people.
Personally for example, I would never try to fly or act out my desires in dreams, as I feel it is disrespectful to the dreams and the people I meet in them. I feel it is like taking a wild animal and ripping out its teeth to have it heel at your feet. However, I am sure you feel that such dream control is relaxing and wonderful and you are wholly justified in your usage of dream control and what you wish to do with your dreams. I would recommend, at the very least, to maybe allow some understanding for vastly different experiences than yours. I'm sure there are plenty of experiences that justify having no interest in lucid dreams, such as straight up never remembering dreams, or having such an epic and great waking life that they may feel no real need to peruse dreams.
