Atheists pray through dogmatic chants on Reddit and Twitter. They do this all the time to affirm their beliefs.

Whether it’s religious or political in nature, they engage in chants or popular sayings meant to reinforce belief around a broadly recognizable routine. Alternatively memes and infographics, like OP’s s0ireddit picrel

>No Human Is “Illegal” On Stolen Land
>No Human Is “Illegal” On Stolen Land
>No Human Is “Illegal” On Stolen Land
>No Human Is “Illegal” On Stolen Land
>No Human Is “Illegal” On Stolen Land

Then the religious ones that are also political but specifically attack a particular religion (that just so happens to be Christianity 9 time out of 10, definitely no pattern here)

Easy peasy, God has appointed us lots of things but he wants us to humble ourselves and loudly ask for it.

ARTICLE 2. Whether it is becoming to pray?
Objection 1: It would seem that it is unbecoming to pray. Prayer
seems to be necessary in order that we may make our needs known
to the person to whom we pray. But according to Mt. 6:32, "Your
Father knoweth that you have need of all these things." Therefore it
is not becoming to pray to God.
Objection 2: Further, by prayer we bend the mind of the person to
whom we pray, so that he may do what is asked of him. But God's
mind is unchangeable and inflexible, according to 1 Kgs. 15:29, "But
the Triumpher in Israel will not spare, and will not be moved to
repentance." Therefore it is not fitting that we should pray to God.
Objection 3: Further, it is more liberal to give to one that asks not,
than to one who asks because, according to Seneca (De Benefic. ii,
1), "nothing is bought more dearly than what is bought with
prayers." But God is supremely liberal. Therefore it would seem
unbecoming to pray to God.
On the contrary, It is written (Lk. 18:1): "We ought always to pray,
and not to faint."

I answer that, Among the ancients there was a threefold error
concerning prayer. Some held that human affairs are not ruled by
Divine providence; whence it would follow that it is useless to pray
and to worship God at all: of these it is written (Malach. 3:14): "You
have said: He laboreth in vain that serveth God." Another opinion
held that all things, even in human affairs, happen of necessity,
whether by reason of the unchangeableness of Divine providence, or
through the compelling influence of the stars, or on account of the
connection of causes: and this opinion also excluded the utility of
prayer. There was a third opinion of those who held that human
affairs are indeed ruled by Divine providence, and that they do not
happen of necessity; yet they deemed the disposition of Divine
providence to be changeable, and that it is changed by prayers and
other things pertaining to the worship of God. All these opinions
were disproved in the FP, Question 19, Articles 7,8; FP, Question 22,
Articles 2,4; FP, Question 115, Article 6; FP, Question 116. Wherefore
it behooves us so to account for the utility of prayer as neither to
impose necessity on human affairs subject to Divine providence, nor (1/2)

>>18103330
to imply changeableness on the part of the Divine disposition.
In order to throw light on this question we must consider that Divine
providence disposes not only what effects shall take place, but also
from what causes and in what order these effects shall proceed. Now
among other causes human acts are the causes of certain effects.
Wherefore it must be that men do certain actions. not that thereby
they may change the Divine disposition, but that by those actions
they may achieve certain effects according to the order of the Divine
disposition: and the same is to be said of natural causes. And so is it
with regard to prayer. For we pray not that we may change the Divine
disposition, but that we may impetrate that which God has disposed
to be fulfilled by our prayers in other words "that by asking, men
may deserve to receive what Almighty God from eternity has
disposed to give," as Gregory says (Dial. i, 8)
Reply to Objection 1: We need to pray to God, not in order to make
known to Him our needs or desires but that we ourselves may be
reminded of the necessity of having recourse to God's help in these
matters.
Reply to Objection 2: As stated above, our motive in praying is, not
Divine disposition, we may change the Divine disposition, but that,
by our prayers, we may obtain what God has appointed.
Reply to Objection 3: God bestows many things on us out of His
liberality, even without our asking for them: but that He wishes to
bestow certain things on us at our asking, is for the sake of our
good, namely, that we may acquire confidence in having recourse to
God, and that we may recognize in Him the Author of our goods.
Hence Chrysostom says [Hom. ii, de Orat.: Hom. xxx in Genes.;
Caten. Aur. on Lk. 18]: "Think what happiness is granted thee, what
honor bestowed on thee, when thou conversest with God in prayer,
when thou talkest with Christ,

>>18103336
humbling yourself to the creator of the universe and all of existence is not a humiliation ritual. a humiliation ritual is undeserved humiliation aimed at taking away what one deserves, but The Lord deserves our worship as an act of justice as he is the most high
