If you're dust then why would it hurt your ego so much to be duped believing in something that may not be?
Thankfulness is acknowledgeling synchronicity, as Jung put it, things beyond your control that aren't mere coincidence.
is their something about a belief in God that puts one in a mindset or posture that is better than not?
Yes, from a purely utilitarian perspective faith is a best practice. I find Scripture interesting, not religion as it's generally viewed, it's the original open source knowledge base. It persist millennia because the lessons are intuitive and resonate accordingly. I don't just mean Christian either, they all share my same lessons and themes.
