I don't see logic as being a part of religious purpose. It doesn't make sense to give praise to a creator or a greater. Unless it buys you something. It's a state that gets arrived at, that has more to do with a type of being than reason or rationality. More wish than reality.

Wishing can be an act of strength or a state of weakness. We all know and see examples of the effects. Weak people, strong people, what is the difference between them? It's not in their weight or height or blood. Can brain science tell what thoughts they think that create their crainial chemical states (if they are observable)? I don't know. Is their perspective vis a vis the world different? I'm fairly sure. Is it logical that belief manifests reality? No. But it can be seen.
