It's not hard to find an atheist who doesn't understand the purpose and effect of prayer.

A milk jug doesn't have a well-known and highly refined system of morals, lessons, and other teachings attached to it.

You know, those teachings that appear in their own forms even in atheists' codes.

[Note: Christianity wasn't created in a vacuum, and atheism didn't "materialize" from nothing.]
