    I think it’s comfort. That can be if different things for different people and it can be many things at once.

    • Spiritual comfort that your god loves you.

    • Emotional comfort that you can do no wrong.

    • Community comfort that you and the people like you are the chosen people.

    • Life/death comfort for what happens after death.

    • Intellectual comfort to know all the answers.

    • Vindictive comfort to hate the people you want to.

    It can just keep going.

      Also, confort for having a higher being supposedly take care of you like your parents did when you were a child. Anything to soothe the loss of infancy.
