That's pretty well known. It's just the fact that you are focusing on God that helps and aligning yourself with God's will. Any time you focus your awarness on God, is said to be good for you by the teachers and guides of many, many spiritual wisdoms of the ancient peoples.

there are several reasons. Some humanists become atheists after seeing violence in the name of god and religion. In Pakistan, tali bans beheaded 3 Sikh persons when they refused to convert into Islam. when some believers pray to god for a job or to cure some physical ailment or some other problem but if they could not get those problems solved and feel that god does not exist. another reason is psycho-bio-sociological causes that make a man an atheist. actually there is no difference between an atheist and a theist a theist believes existence of one intelligent being called god an atheist believes existence of several intelligent beings Shaheed Bhagat singh gave valid reasons why he became an atheist. WHETHER A PERSON IS ATHEIST OR A BELIEVER IS NOT A MATTER OF CONCERN. WHETHER HE IS BEHAVING RATIONALLY OR IRRATIONALLY AND WHETHER HIS ACTIONS ARE HELPING OTHERS AND WIPING OUT MISERIES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IS IMPORTANT.

God is within us. When we chanting the name of god, we are concentrating within us and we forget all about the good or bad happenings outside in the world. So we get a peace of mind. Which leads to a freshness or sound sleep.

It is universal truth, however I will not agree totally to this. It doesn't mean that I am against God...I have fullest faith in God..
Probably you are from south (India) ..OK, you just imagine those who dont believe in God but they do good progress in life! There are person who chant God's name regularly but suffer as anything!!
Here, Prarabhdha Karma works or you call it destiny. A person may take birth with the blessing of God for his past birth good deeds...he will get easy success even if he does not pray or chant God's name.....However there are some people who are born to suffer punishment life for their past birth deed, so howsoever they pray or chant God's name they will have no escape from suffering the punishment life...
So praying or chanting God's name will not minimise their punishment life however they may experience less pain during their punishment life..
Chanting of God's name is must but equally must is our sincere and honest in work. There are many people who recite God's name throughout but they are master in hurting others ...then what is the use???
There are certain Mantras prescribed in our Old Gold Veda, which has tremendous vibration power to minimise our pain during our suffering period and increase the Aishwariyam for those who have already the blessings of God for their good deeds. I dont know which group you belongs to....???

Chanting the transcendental vibration Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the sublime method for reviving our transcendental consciousness, or Krishna consciousness.
As living spiritual souls, we are all originally Krishna conscious entities, but due to our association with matter from time immemorial, our consciousness is now polluted by the material atmosphere, called maya, or illusion. And what is this illusion? The illusion is that we are all trying to be lords of material nature, while actually we are under the grip of her stringent laws. When a servant artificially tries to imitate the all-powerful master, he is said to be in illusion. We are trying to exploit the resources of material nature, but actually we are becoming more and more entangled in her complexities. Therefore, although we are engaged in a hard struggle to conquer nature, we are becoming ever more dependent on her. This illusory struggle against material nature can be stopped at once by revival of our eternal Krishna consciousness.
Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind. This consciousness is the original energy of the living entity. When we hear and chant the transcendental vibration of Holy Mantras like Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, this consciousness is revived.

It doesn't really have to be a God's name. If you chant any name or God's name, it would be like you would be concentrating on one thing and your mind won't we wandering places and your mind would attain peace. This is another way to meditate.

i think by chanting name of any God with full concentration you just dont think any thing else which certainly will give you peace of mind as you are not thinking about any worldly problems
