I wondered if other theists here (where are you?) could relate to that.
Strangely enough, when I decided there was no god I could still do what you say you can do believing in god. I suspect it is like remembering a feeling you can trigger the feeling. I know some people try to use thinking of pictures to trigger feelings. But do you know what is really hard to do? To imaging a smell.
