When people pray they don't talk to God, they think things over and answers come to them, in exactly the same way atheists think about problems and answers come to them.
I suppose a difference could be to think with God in the frame forces you to consider the bigger picture over your personal take which may otherwise take precedence.

I have a problem with religious platitudes too. It makes me cringe. I don't understand how people could be so hypocritical and do stuff in churches when it's meaningless to them. I don't understand the churches exploiting it either.

I guess I appreciate honesty. If you told me how you honestly felt that would mean loads more to me than religious lip service any day.

Good for you! I hate lip service wherever and whenever.
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
