Does anyone feel the occasional temptation to become religious?

I do, sometimes, and push it away each time. I doubt that I could, really, fall for that temptation - even if I tried to, the illogicality of the whole thing would very likely prevent me from really believing in even a part of it very seriously. And as more and more time passes, religious structures begin to seem more and more ridiculous and contrived. Not that I'd have believed that them starting to feel more contrived would even have been possible.

And yet... occasionally I remember the time back in my teens, when I had some sort of a faith. I remember the feeling of ultimate safety it brought with it - the knowledge that no matter what happens, everything will turn out well in the end. It might be a good thing that I spend time worrying over existential risks, and spend time thinking about what I could do about them, but it sure doesn't exactly improve my mental health. The thought of returning to the mindset of a believer appeals on an emotional level, in the same way stressed adults might longingly remember the carefree days of childhood. But while you can't become a child again, becoming a believer is at least theoretically possible. And sometimes I do play around with the idea of what it'd be like, to adopt a belief again.
