I don't believe in god. I never have, I doubt I ever will. My AA group keeps bringing up spirituality and saying how necessary it is to let yourself go to a higher power. I'm having issues with it. People are inherently good. The very act of prayer acknowledges this fact. Whether it's asking for forgiveness or expressing a need for something, it's admitting that there's something you'd like to improve or feel guilt about. People pray of their own free will, expressing a moral code that spawned from original thought. No deity's presence required.
On a related note, a study was done in '06 showing results that people fair poorer when they know they are being prayed for.
