Why "UGH"????
"They" are right -- you
have to believe in something greater/bigger/other than yourself to get better.
And you do. You just said so: other human beings, Nature, Life.
Of course you don't have to believe in an angry violent God, of either gender. And no one is telling you you need to. Except maybe your disease.
