Exactly. I feel the same way about God. Jordan Peterson puts it beautifully. He doesn't know if God really exists or not, but he prefers to live his life as if he does, because there's no question that frequent contemplation of the greatest good a person could aspire to be can only make you a better person. He also talks about how his wife is starting to go to church, and how important he sees that activity, where a bunch of people with shared ideals get together to contemplate their relationship with God, study the teachings of Jesus, and just check in and connect with and support one another. We're social creatures so we need stuff like that in our lives. I don't care if God is real or not. The idea of Him is there and for me, that's enough. If He turns out to be a real being and that becomes obvious to me someday literally nothing would change for me. It would be little more than an "Oh. Cool." moment and nothing more.
