If you accept love and goodness, if you strive to live by the values of honesty, truth, generosity, humility, kindness, etc, to the best of your understanding of those things, you are unknowingly accepting God into your heart, and He is present there, imho. I am by no means saying that people who are religious or Catholic are all good people. And yes, I "attach" Catholic doctrines to God. This does not mean i think Catholic people , even the clergy, are all good people.
I knowingly don't accept your God into my heart, though I accept love and goodness because they come from us, not from fictional beings. Also, this doesn't sound much different from the "deep down, many atheists believe in God" statement some other theists tend to make. "IMHO".
