What do you mean when you say "believe in God" / "having faith" etc? Literally thinking and/or feeling there is an almighty entity out there that has your destiny mapped out for you, so no need to worry about yourself any longer?

I was raised religiously, wouldnt say I "believe in God" in that sense (although that depends on how we define it of course) but still the older I get, the easier I find it to not worry about myself or live for myself.

Not trying to be a dick or start a religious argument here btw, just curious what it means for you when you say that 🧐
