Atheists can pray too.
Atheists can actually pray. I find that I still fall into prayer, but I no longer focus on god, I focus on myself and the actual things that I can do. I take time to rest my brain in a form of prayer, where I just release my thoughts and clear my mind. It just occurs naturally since I grew up catholic and using multiple forms of prayer.
Prayer still can have a positive effect on the brain and body, in part, because it can be calming. Even without the delusions of a god.
I do not do it often. Only when it occurs without me thinking about it or planning to do it. I just end up putting my head down, clasping my hands, and often, closing my eyelids and then resting in a prayerful position, as my thoughts dissipate and I sit in solitude, serenity, peace, and calmness. Still and unconcerned about completing anything, other than merely enjoying the solitude and peace.
