Walking in the path of faithlessness has not lead me to a good place. It's lead me to a place of hate, self-loathing, and unhappiness. Perhaps it is not a lack of faith or God, but merely character flaws or mental illness on my own part that has lead me here. Although it may lead to nothing, I'm going to keep looking for something. I want to be a better person, and if God and religion can help get me there, then so be it. I did feel something that night, whatever it was, and I have not felt much of anything for some time now.
By your method of taking a characteristic from your life and saying "well this happened when I was doing X, maybe I should do the opposite of X to see a change." You could just as easily say "wearing clothes, having 10 fingers, watching my favorite tv shows, etc." But I doubt you are going to become a nudist, chop of a finger, or start watching Two and a Half Men" and expect a change in the world.

Correlation doesn't equal causation.
