What's wrong with praying to a god you no longer believe in, if it makes you feel better? Praying is hoping and wishing and meditation, and those things aren't bad. Why is it weirder to preface it with "dear god" instead of "dear diary" or "dear [insert best friend's name]"?
Is it the action of prayer that's soothing, or the belief that god is listening?
