Let me ask you: is it possible for an atheist to pray to a divine being? I dont even know what a divine being is other than the arbitrary attributes assigned to one by various religions.
The act of praying can be done by anyone who can communicate, and the subject that is being addressed through prayer is only tangibly talked to in someone's head, so yes. Not genuine prayer, not "effective" prayer, but it still fits.

Can a psychopath write a love letter? They don't even know what love is besides for arbitrary physical stimuli assigned to it by society.
