Short answer is YES Pel...since this god of yours does not exist EVERYTHING YOU do serves to make YOU feel better about yourself. Nothing more. Not that that is an entirely bad thing. But hey you want to credit something out side of yourself for all the effort YOU put in ?? Be my guest. You are still 'self serving'.
