I thought you were an atheist.
Enjoyment of fiction unencumbered by too much dissecting of the plot, characters or technicalities is very different than unthinkingly accepting a fiction as truth.
For example, if I think about it too much I might start to not like the movie as much as I did. I might begin to dwell on little things like why that one storm trooper had a weapon than could go up against a light saber but Kylo Ren had to create his light saber from old technology. Or the "stop taking my hand!" hooey.
When dissecting a story starts to affect my enjoyment of the story, that's when I need to turn my brain off and just go with the flow. (While still acknowledging that it is fiction.)
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
