I never understood why a god would need to be worshipped, what does the god get out of it?

You know, I think you accidentally managed to get something absolutely right. God worshippers do get more out of it than the god they worship.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Because most of us have a stable psyche.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Because most of us have a stable psyche. Stable psyches never did anyone any spiritual good.

Exactly, no need for a mental magical crutch.

Ah. That's why it never appealed to me. Not a sub; not a dom.
