If I stop believing, all of the ''powers'' that I've bestowed upon a deity...were really all in my imagination. That's just so crazy to think of it that way.
This is progress.
I'm still not sure how you wound up thinking otherwise in the first place, lol. Your believing in a god didn't seem to have anything to do with gods, or any external component whatsoever.
Are you familiar with idolization, godhead, and focal ritualism?
