Living as a Practical Atheist

I'm wondering if I'm living life as a practical atheist and whether that's not such a bad thing. My world view is Xn of sorts (given there are a variety of Xn world views) but I wonder if I live like an atheist. The other day I briefly saw a woman crying in her car, as she drove off I prayed for her but I felt like I wanted offer her much more.

It got me thinking that in many ways I’m a practical atheist. I don’t believe that God will intervene deux ex machina style to every prayer that I shoot off and miraculously solve all the problems. It is our job to that, us as people transformed by God.
