What massive ineffable elements? God could be a concept, or a principle, determining the consistency of the universe.
I actually have little attachment to belief in God. Tthere are no social interactions that depend upon it—my father and I are very close and he is a boisterous atheist—and belief in God is not reassuring at all, because apparently bad things nevertheless happen.
Confessionally, my real attachment is to a belief in external value of the human person or purpose, or any subset of the physical universe, which seems much more difficult to justify than belief in God. I don’t know if it exists, but I know that I want it to.
