Some people do believe in prayer. Growing up we recited prayers, often without much thought...it's just what we did as Catholics. Especially when assigned a prayer penance at confession.

Some people may find it meditative more than actually believing that prayer 'works' in that some god somewhere answers pleas for assistance.
