What if God is the fully discovered form of the subconscious principle that makes someone’s life appear sacred to you?

Cool concept but I'm just referring to those who believe if you don't believe in god you're inherently immoral, and that without god people would just go around murdering people as if that subconscious principle doesn't exist without identifying it as something.

I thought so too, until I noticed that some of the people holding the above opinion diagnosed me as believing in God despite my atheism. Then I observed that I was bound by the same moral code as the theists, while my rational self-identification was insufficient to explain that.

Someone saying that you believe in god because you hold the same moral code, despite you actively communicating you don't seems like fallacious reasoning. The same mechanism that dictates the morality in each of you exists independent of your identification of what it is.

The point is that I implement a belief in God, but I did not recognize it, because I had the terms belief and God mistranslated. In the post-enlightenment ontology, the words have different meanings.

'Faith' is not a representation, it's a policy. God is not a supernatural entity creating physical universes, it's the platonic form of a sentient civilization. Christian mythology synchronizes policies and commitments for Christians but obscures them for rationalists.
