Sure Strangely I would guess that it's normally the other way round. People believe, or want to believe, in God for emotional reasons then try to rationalise it with logic that they can't make work.
I do this too. For example, I really want to play another game of Hearthstone. I say to myself, "Well, it will help me relax."
Although the statement is true, part of me knows it isn't the primary reason. It's like I feel embarrassed to myself and need to justify the decision. But then I'm embarrassed because I realize I've rationalised it rather than explained it. I analyse too much.
