No it does not. It is simply a superstition you fell for, and unfortunately that false perception can have a real effect on your brain chemistry which does release Endorphins. You can have the same intense feelings thinking about a loved one or pet. It is nothing real at all. It is the same false perception a kid gets thinking about getting presents from Santa at Christmas. If you want to believe in a god badly enough you will, just as much as any Muslim or Jew wants to pray to their god too.
The only thing god belief requires is gullibility.
Sorry bubba, but I've seen answered prayer over and over and there is nothing as heart warming as to see God's power released through answered prayer. Just because you haven't experienced answered prayer doesn't mean it doesn't happen. No matter how badly you want God not to be real it want help.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
