It's also, shall we say, very subjective?
That you feel your diety is great for you. As well as, by extension, those who also feel... Or say they feel... thd same as you.
But our 'Feels', other than the biology in our heads, don't really have an impact on reality around us.
We can not push the clouds with our minds.
It's not about a deity being great. But a certain way of life and being is greater that other ways of life and being. A kind life, better than a cruel life; an honest life better than a dishonest life. A life lived in love, better than one lived in resentment and hatred; a restorative life, greater than a destructive one, etc....
It's not so much a question of what the world out there is like, but how we live in the world regardless. It's about meaning, more than science.
Whether you categorize this as subjective recognition, or an objective one is all besides the point. When such a life is seen or observed, the acknowledger recognizes that it is the only one true life, while the rest is just great pretenders. I don't expect my children to see something differently here than I do, I naively believe they will without a doubt recognize the same thing as well.
