God is not a belief. God is not a choice. God is a fact of human existence.

This is absolutely critical to understand. Thank you so much for stating it in such a concise fashion.

I would take it even a step further:

God is a fact of existence

or:

God is existence

This is where people get so confused. It's not about belief; it's about experience. We all know without a doubt there is "more going on than we can understand." This IS the very nature of reality. Each of us is a part of - and possesses only a partial view of - the universe we share. God IS this universe. As such, God is the whole that we can never comprehend, but that cannot be denied. Belief has nothing to do with it.

As to the denial of this simple truth - which you here term Satanism - the dominant result of this denial is emptiness. I feel sad for people who work so hard in their effort to hide from the truth. They make themselves miserable, their misery spreads around them, and the pattern of pain we are all familiar with is established. This pattern is difficult to escape because most are lost in it, and a big dollop of [luck, fate, blessing, fortune... pick your word here] is required for people who finally wake up to the simple truth that surrounds us in each and every instant of this existence we all share.

God is THIS. Once seen, it is never again unseen. I wish this vision for all, not because it is "better" than any other perspective, but because in its simplicity, all doubt (absolutely ALL doubt) is swept away, never to return. May all beings discover this freedom.

    Some people have a gene which effects the brain and causes them to experience the presence of a divine being all the time.

    I think the OP is just expressing their lived experience of that.

    Personally I don't have that experience and my whole family is pretty much the same.

    Thanks for this, TIL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_gene

    I wonder if that variant positively correlates with elite athleticism. I swear like 80% of post-race/game interviews are about giving thanks to god.
