@Purple.
Speaking only for myself, I -love- the idea of some gods. There are alot of them...and for every crapgod I don't care for like Yahweh there are dozens of comic, tragic, or just downright awesome gods that I thoroughly enjoy. Doesn't help me to believe in any of them, and I've never understood why people think it's relevant to belief in either direction.
Is that how belief works? If, for example...I hate the idea of people starving.....does that mean that I will somehow not believe that people are starving? If I really love the idea of peppered bacon, does that mean that I will begin to believe that by feeding a sow jalepenos I can make that happen?
Is that how belief works for you..in your experience?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
