Does it help you having a religion when going through bad times. Why/why not?

To answer the original,before the thread got hijacked, personal question asked, yes, for me, my religion helps when I am going through bad times. I define "religion" as my faith/personal set of beliefs. Religion doesn't have to be handed down or "taught" or be thought up by someone "outside" of one's self. Religion, for me, is merely what I hang my beliefs on; presumably I have more than one and my "religion" is the grouping of them, how I see them in the aggregate. Part of my relgious beliefs are that the sun will come up tomorrow, I didn't "create" it and it doesn't revolve around me
