For me, as an atheist, prayer would be a waste of time since I would know that there is no one listening. However, I believe that it is not necessarily a waste of time for believer to pray, since prayer, by itself, may be a source of comfort in times of trouble. This applies equally to the prayers of Christians, Muslims, Hindus and all others.

Why can praying be a waste of time?

This is a very broad question. It depends on your personal beliefs. Some Christians, for example, believe that all prayer is valuable, however, some believe that prayer for material things is a waste of time, or prayer for anything outside of God's will is a waste of time: IE: "Please let me win the lottery" or "Please help me buy a new TV." Generally speaking, Christians don't believe that God is a wish granter sitting in Heaven waiting to grant your every request. However, I would say that if a person believes in the power of prayer, and that if the act of praying helps a person cope with day to day stress, or if it just simply makes a person feel better, in a general sense, it is not a waste of time. But again, it's a matter of personal belief. An atheist would probably say that it is a waste of time, and that since there is no God, you might as well be talking to the wall.
