I guess. I don't really know because I don't have one of my own. I would have thought conditioning had more to do with it.
But I can see the coping thing too. Having been conditioned to imagine God as hovering over your shoulder like a friend who never tires of your hopes and foibles, I suppose you wouldn't experience your surroundings as indifferent. It is all a background set against which you learn and grow and prove your worth. This assumes that the conditioning took, of course.
