I'm not trying to establish the link. I've monitored my mental health for a while and I have been baffled as to the changes in it. It's actually incredibly simple for me now to make the link between believing in a higher power and achieving more happiness given that I was on and off with the higher power shit and on and off with my depression and the spread was years with the trend mutually exclusive.
I guess that's just what I picked up from the OP. Sounds like you've got it sorted.
In general, I'd say, yes. It has been liberating and a good experience.
