Well if you get comfort from it and it helps you get through life, then it's good for you. Don't even try to justify it to others.

I did have one major psychological/emotional change in my life many years ago (improvised explosive device went off in my face) a chaplain used to visit me a lot in the hospital. I have to say, the conviction he had to his faith impressed me. I am not a religious person, but this guy was a good person, he never treated me as a clinical case like the others, much he said then stuck with me to this day.

It is down to the individual Joe. You don't have to justify yourself to others.
