A lot of prominent skeptics have written articles and books about this topic. You could probably find a little comfort and some information about it in Michael Shermer's books, and the like. Our brains are hardwired, in a way, for belief. It's not something to be embarrassed about - atheists and skeptics alike will sometimes have superstitions or little rituals they perform for comfort, which is all I take praying to be.
At least, I think Shermer's are the ones I want to recommend... I'm just waking up from sleeping off the tail-end of a medicated migraine. Someone correct me if I'm off-base.
