Absolutely. I can't claim to understand it really. I was raised Methodist and wasn't taught much of the outrageous shit you got from the fundamentalists. Hell, I took sex Ed at church for fucks sake. It was overall a pretty positive experience.
Even so, I fell away from it as many or most do. But came back to a spirituality through recovery from alcoholism through AA. As is known, it is a program founded on "religious" principles, but the founders, despite using "God" and letting religion infiltrate it, also distilled it into basic principles common to most world religions that can be and are called just basic "spirituality," or "getting in touch with the universe" or pick your metaphysical metaphor, or God or Allah or Buddha or whatever. For me, personally, the whole Christian God thing is just easier to wrap my head around than some of the other new-agey things it could be called.
So, looking back, I see a whole lot of the positives even in the church-raising I received, in what I consider one of the more intelligent denominations and although at a mighty-whitey church, was blessed with excellent, intelligent, insightful and compassionate clergy.
But yeah, prayer or meditation is "getting right with the world." And that isn't praying for outcomes or prosperity, but for the strength and understanding to endure whatever it is we are confronted with. And as alluded to earlier, that really often takes the form of "what do I do next, what is the next right thing"?
