Nope. That "love" you feel is your own misfire of perception. It is not love, it is pining after an idea. Much like I thought it was "love" wanting that girl in church to date me when I was a teen.
Loving the idea of a god is what is going on. Just like Muslims love the idea of Allah existing. Much like that girl never loved me even though I thought I loved her.
Like I said, our species flawed perceptions lead us to "feel" things over mere desire and not anything real itself.
