Mrrz, dear, you are not quite making sense.

Someone tells you that you will feel better if you believe X. You agree to try that. You feel better as a result. You credit that belief with those benefits.

Makes perfect sense, no?

It does not mean "X" is true. mind you. I have no doubt that belief in the Great Father Sky brings about a comfortable sense of relative certainty in the world in place of great gnawing uncertainty. Or at leastr feels as though it does. Doesn't mean GFS is real or true. Same for Jahweh or Baal.
