ultimately the act of praying revolves around a belief based on a personal spiritual choice, so to me personal anecdotal evidence seems far more worthwhile than any clinical study. apparently that makes me stupid and weak.
Not following an organized religion doesn't have to mean everything spiritual is stupid. In my own way I find myself praying all the time by just hoping to myself. That's like a prayer. I'm always asking something out there to help me out when I need it. I may not expect any help to actually come from it, but it makes me feel better about my situation anyway. I would be surprised if there was someone who didn't do this from time to time, honestly.
