If prayer does absolutely nothing, as they claim, then why should they have a problem with people doing it. If it really has no effect on anything whatsoever, where's the problem?

I dont think they have a problem with praying.

Do you ever see gangs of atheists hanging around outside synagogues and churches trying to stop people praying?

No, you dont.

I have no problem with people praying for me.

I think people have a problem when religious people don't actually do anything to help and just pray, then act as if they've done something to help, just like during the Japanese earthquakes back in March. People perfectly capable of sending donations or food said "I didn't donate, but I prayed!"

Prayer is a time wasting. People could be doing something more productive with their time. It's just like video games.
I still pray whenever I have anxiety. Yes, I need to stop being a faggot.

Prayer/meditation/contemplation help a lot of people deal with stress and anxiety. If it helps you, there's no need to stop.

Except it really doesn't and prayer isn't the same thing as meditation.
