In the Book, The Color Purple, by Alice Walker, young Celie has an interesting relationship with god. I believe that she doesn't necessarily believe in god, but she resides in a society that does. She is constantly told that god is the one who she should turn to when she needs help, etc. She speaks to god as if he were her journal, in which she can just pour out her feelings in. She lives in a lonely world where she has no one to talk to, and so she turn to the person who would always listen, god. She usually doesn't ask for any guidance or help, but when she does, it is usually for another person. All in all, she talks to god as a friend who she can trust not to tell anyone, and listen to her dearly, not as a prayer.
