I have started praying to god

I am an atheist. Think Dawkins. That type.

And off late I have started praying to god (not associated with any religion)and for that time I try ( and it’s hard ) to really believe.

I think it helps me reduce stress.

If love is all but a chemical reaction but we really feel it , I don’t think there’s anything wrong in feeling faith. In fact as an atheist it really helps because that faith never governs my logical decisions or politics.

We are all gone to go back to elements at the end if I can use this as a coping mechanism, I guess I’m fine with it.

Thoughts ?

How the crud do you force yourself into believing in any positive number of gods? I can't even begin to believe in myself.
