IMO, people are never wrong to hold personal beliefs, or not to have such. If it works for you personally, why would it matter to anyone else?

Agreed but there are more difficult positions, ED T. Having gone through the atheist stage, and then believing a God exists, my life has largely been hell (some of my own making). Whether one could argue it works for me would be debatable and many (including myself at times) would say it doesn't but whether I like it or not, the belief (even if I leave it at times) comes back and makes sense to me.

As posted elsewhere, I can feel like some strange mix of Jonah wanting to run away, Job having trials he does not understand and Paul with his wrestles.

If works means comfort, I'd say largely not. If works means I've had my life transformed in some way and I have become a better creature, I'd say not at all. OTOH, if works means I believe Christ is the way, for me (and I'm not saying for others) I;d have to say yes.
