I think it's comfort. That can be if different things for different people and it can be many things at once.
Spiritual comfort that your god loves you.
Emotional comfort that you can do no wrong.
Community comfort that you and the people like you are the chosen people.
Life/death comfort for what happens after death.
Intellectual comfort to know all the answers.
Vindictive comfort to hate the people you want to.
It can just keep going.
Also, confort for having a higher being supposedly take care of you like your parents did when you were a child. Anything to soothe the loss of infancy.
