Isn't it possible, though, that if you were told Satan would protect you and you had no real understanding of Satan, that refering to God as 'Satan' would still have been praying to God, simply under a different name?
Why did you have no reason to believe God was there? How would you know if He was or not? Obviously, looking back, you wont perceive Him as having been there because you are an atheist now. But is it possible that He might have been there, and you simply did/do not recognize/remember Him?
And again, why is that inner feeling of peace not evidence enough? Why do you find it to be un-trustworthy?
(Wow, suddenly I'm the one asking the questions...weird. o.O)
