The weak, the poor, the addict, the alcoholic - all of these people , in the midst of struggling, can often also be acutely aware of God
The more desperate you are, the more you clutch at straws.
Don't you realise that if the opposite were true, it would be a good argument for god? If people were more likely to believe when they were secure and rational, then pretty much by definition god would make sense, because he would appear more real to those being sensible. The fact that he appears more real in proportion to how desperate the circumstances are, is an argument AGAINST god being real.
