Apart from people tending to behave better than they otherwise might do if they believe in God, another spiritual use for God is when one toys with the possibility of God actually existing and taking an interest in one's affairs.
This can reinforce one's patience and perseverance when one's friends, comrades and associates are just so FULL OF SHIT, not to mention the unreliability and treachery of spouses and family members who know exactly where to stick the knife in and how to twist it.
God, if He exists, would operate through our conscience anyway.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
