There are several problems with your opinions.
1. It's at least possible there's a God. In this case, people who try to talk to him are right, and you're wrong.
2. There is merit in meditation on the spiritual side of life.
3. There is merit in prayer. There are many who believe in God, yet don't believe he meddles in earthly affairs. Yet they pray to him, because they find that verbalizing their difficulties is beneficial to their own soul. So, if God exists and answers prayer, prayer is not idiotic. If God exists and doesn't answer, or if God doesn't exist, then prayer at least helps the person praying.
4. Personally, I find it odd that you completely determine a person's intelligence based on whether they agree with you on an unprovable statement! Odd, and immature.
