Hi Oxford,
I would say believe whatever you want to believe to keep you sober but other people religion should not be discounted as they help, like Christianity I sometimes go to confession to get the past sins of my chest there is two way,s to look at this confess to God or as I see it you are getting your problems out by talking to a person behind a wooden wall cheaper and less intimidating than a psychologist.I also use some Buddhist teachings that happiness is within, it comes when we do not intoxicate our bodies and meditation brings peace to the mind.
We accept in society that people are born different and we accept different race's and people with disabilities this is the morality we as a society believe.So my point is you can pick useful practises out a relgion that does not mean you have to accept the worship idiol.Good luck with your Goals
