Everything we lean towards believing, we wish it to be true?
You understand me correctly - truth is about knowledge. What I know to be true is about the actual truth. What I feel to be true is about what I want the truth to be. You'll notice that atheists rarely say things like "I don't feel there is a sixth sense" or "I don't feel there is no god".
So what about when I feel there is no God? Is that me wanting there to be no god? Because certainly I don't know there is no God when I feel that way.

When I lean towards Deism it's just that I want Deism to be true. And when I lean towards Islam it's just that I want Islam to be true. It's that simple. Of course, that's with me, while you believing in what you believe has nothing to do with what you desire. No double standards.
If you lean towards them because you feel them to be true, then yes, it is that simple. I determine my leanings based on a better standard - one of knowing, not feeling.
So everything you claim to be true, is on absolute knowledge?
