I really appreciate your words personally, GG.
Having a reverence for God and prayer is a good quality in people as long as it's not attached to some fanatical religious ideology.
I think when someone gets to a point where they can have peace and be graceful about their reverence for God, that's when life starts going more in one's favor.
Fearfully practicing a religious ideology and shoving it down peoples' throats, humiliating oneself in various ways (praying several times a day face down on a rug for example, ROFL!) and doing other things that take empowerment away from individuals... is very much a poison to any civilization. That's not 'faith'... it's enslavement.
What you describe is a gentle sort of faith and a quiet, but intensely powerful belief and knowing.
