For me, becoming religious is a feeling. I get a sensation of happiness and energy from being present in the moment. How much energy varies to a great degree. I never feel powerful or god-like, but I may get an impression of having gained major insights towards enlightenment. And this impression is not based on any knowledge, but just a feeling.

Interesting your experiences of fighting with or being attacked by Satan. I once had an illusion of being attacked, but never linked it to Satan. I always thought of it as just an illusion, but still a very frightening one.
