Exactly. The worst part is that they tacitly acknowledge that prayer has a net zero effect on anything. If their prayers go unanswered, "It was God's Plan." If they are "answered," then the power of prayer. If you don't think you can change God's will, then what the hell are you doing? Effectively God's plan is whatever the fuck just happened, whether you prayed or not.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
