Theists are often ignorant when following the words of religious texts. They don't accept the burden of proof, and often use examples of coincidence to explain prayer. But here's an example of prayer that suggests god isn't real. If I went out to church, and prayed for God to end all violence on Earth, to stop poverty, diesease, and other suffering, nothing would change. If I had my entire family do the same, nothing would change. If every single Atheist and Theist prayed to end suffering on Earth, every day, nothing would change for those suffering. Some theists use prayer to make themselves feel better, but it doesn't affect those that they pray for. Theists teach that God cares about everyone, but there are over seven billion people on this planet, and billions of billions of planets in the universe. If God is all-powerful enough to create a universe like our own, he would be powerful and moral enough to end suffering in it as well. Religion is a lie create by those who wish to gain recognition or power, not by those who wish to make a better Earth.
