I'll be honest, I read that last paragraph a few times and and still don't understand what you mean exactly. You think I'm an atheist, pretending to be a theist with doubts who is admitting to having those doubts in order to make people identify with the person I'm only pretending to be? Too convoluted for me at this time of night. I'll have to come back to it when I'm fresh.
Oh as to the science thing, there is a difference between using a spiritual model I know to be flawed for something outside of science (spirituality) and using a supernatural explanation for perfectly prosaic things which science has simply not got around to yet. The former is more akin to philosophy. What makes lightning and how did life begin are different sorts of questions to what does love mean to me and is the golden rule internally consistent. I have religious beliefs for things I don't understand in an abstract sense, not in a specific empirical sense. I don't understand how paracetamol works, but I don't feel the need to apply a supernatural explanation for it.

Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
