I'm of a like mind. My concept of God has changed but I see no reason to abandon the word. My idea of prayer has changed, but I see no reason to abandon it, either. Check http://www.pantheism.net for an approach to resolving this. Not all pantheists would appreciate it, but I've taken a crack at a revised Lord's Prayer:
To Darwin's God
Our creator which art the heavens,
Hallowed be thy wellsprings
Of power and glory.
May thy radiant dance of fire
Illuminate our desire.
Grant us this day our own incandescence,
An exuberant will to live,
And a delight in everything that lives.
Let us learn from our mistakes,
And treat others as we would be treated.
But lead us not into superstition,
And deliver us from intolerance:
For this is thy kingdom,
And we are thy subjects in service,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

I think it was Buckminster Fuller who said the
difference between faith and belief is that
believers let other people do their thinking
for them. Anyway, faith can't be lost - it's
virtuous memory. A.
