Prayer is just another word for meditation; for thinking about something. Atheists, Anti-theists, realists, whatever the name is for someone who grasps the truth about existence can still want things to be different or they may feel immensly grateful for their life that they talk in their head about it. That’s not prayer which is narrowly defined as a petition to god. Sentience consists of thinking. Thoughts can be about abstractions, things that are non-existent, things that are not but thinking can be about whatever the thinker desires including nonsense, supurb sense or about nothing but thinking about nothing is thinking about something nevertheless. If you are religious; if you are about the mystical, the supernatural, the hypernatural, you probably just pray from habit. Step back and ask where that came from. You can wish, hope, wonder, conjecture, conjure or use your mind for the real world or not. It’s still your mind. Still your thoughts so get to it and get along with it. Life is good. You are being lied to. That’s not innocent. Who is listening when you talk in your head? Only you. No one else, nothing else, can know what is going on inside your head with your own brain. That’s nature. Your thoughts are known only to you. That’s neither a good nor bad thing, like mount Everest, that simply is.
