If prayer is everything the religious say it is, then it would be more than just placebo effect. How many people without illness pray for people with illness? I hear it proclaimed all of the time, I'll pray for you. The one that's ill shouldn't even have to be a believer if prayer really worked. That would not be prayer placebo effect.
I'm sure the non ill prayers certainly feel better, no matter if the person lives or dies. That's called delusional effect.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
