So I sort of understand this. Not in terms of belief as such but from the comfort of religious ritual and shared community. But I don't confuse that with belief.

Do you actually feel that you believe or do you find strong comfort in belief and the behaviors associated with belief?

(And possibly not a good idea to suggest this, but one possible answer is that John Calvin happens to be right and you are one of the pre-destined elect...)
