No, it is not. Adherents number about 50 million, which is not many as religions go. There are actually a lot more people influenced by Taoism, and even who believe in it. But it is compatible with other belief systems to the extent that many people who believe have other religions.

Taoists.
Since most Taoists do not believe in a God, it is difficult to say that they "pray." More accurately, Taoists meditate; most Taoists perform some sort of meditation daily, although there is no rule about this. They also read sacred texts from their religion and think about the meanings those texts contain.

In a sense Taoism is not so much a religion as a philosophy that is usually imposed on other religions. Taoists have a rather unspecific idea of divinity and afterlife. Most Taoists are Buddhists, who believe in reincarnation. Many Taoists are adherents of Chinese Folk Religions who seem to share a believe in afterlife centering around spirits of the dead who are the ancestors one should worship. Other Taoists are members of other religions with other beliefs.
Taoists generally leave small offerings of fruit or vegetable in front of statues of the gods or the Immortals.
