1. An avowed atheist who (secretly) turns to prayer during times of serious illness, extreme danger or personal crisis.

2. The theological equivalent of a strict vegetarian who will eat a steak sandwich (on the sly) when facing extreme hunger.

3. A way of "covering all your bases" during an emergency.
Becky says she doesn't believe in God, but she's really a Praytheist. After she was diagnosed with lymphoma, she started praying again in private.

Get the Praytheist mug.
People who didn't believe in God, but would pray anyway.
They didn't pray to the God, but pray for themselves, or others.

Prayer for the atheist can be like singing in the shower. No one is listening, and that is just fine.
For they didn't need to believe in it for it to work.
That Praytheist always pray before he/she eat.
