I see this term tossed around a lot and you're full of shit.
Being religious at a young age, I resorted to having non verbal (1 way) conversations (or prayers) with God thinking he is listening to me, the more things went my way, the more I was convinced of his existence and my relationship with him. Even when things didn't go as planned I accepted that it was in gods plans.
After becoming an adult and a full blown atheist I now understand why I thought I had a relationship with god.
It's because as a theist you base your entire life on a "meant to be" "not meant to be" bases for years and train your mind to completely ignore the golden rule: correlation =! Causation
My life has changed for the better as an atheist and that's because life's events have got me here regardless of if I believe in something invented 2000 years ago.
You are afraid to break that imaginary relationship because you do not want things going wrong with your life, I wasn't afraid.
