TThe wish to do things in front of God's eyes, in others words to do things thorougly well also with one's feelings, is good for one's way to do things.
Holy
It is said that life is holy. It means that one shouldn't kill anybody. And that one should consider with great care everything that one does to others, so that one does not hurt them needlessly.
It is so that when we come to teh central issues of life, which need lots of weight in our picture of the world and in our actions, we take a more serious attitude. With the most important matters being holy to us - otherwise we make the thought error of estimating sizes wrongly. So in some cases healthy serious-mindedness and considering something holy, produce the same effect. There is one reason to turn to Christianity: with the all-mighty God who sees everything we are not left with the imperfection of the humans' perception ability, but can straight reach for the ultimate good, the truth with our mind and heart.
Praying is a way to open one's mind's eyes to new possibilities. It offers a solution-centered way of solving problems: finding building parts of a soution freely and straighforwardly.
It is good to get overly well along with things which should be supported, and to not to get along at all with things which should be resisted. So supporting good, God, and resisting evil, devil, is an important social role to have: not only rationality but values themselves too.
It is important to affirm the important goals in life in a convincing way, to dedicate some time to reaching them, however faraway and demanding those are to reach in practise.
Being able to join together for a better world even when there are no ready made explicit instructions of how to reach it, is important. It is an important tool in cultivating good living conditions. Heart too is important in understanding life and the world.
It is important to set the ideals high enough and to aim at correcting one's own errors.
Religion could be a way to put the human nature, which is God's creation, to a dominant position over artificialities, to bring back the natural understanding of humans, a direct contact with God.
Thanking God for the obvious basic things of everyday life, helps to remember to actively support those who work for getting them for us all, like for good moral the culture, moral people, the media etc.
Since you consider the Bible as a book more hole than an ordinary book, you must also consider nature, which is a direct creation of God, more holy than the man made environment. (Be for nature conservation, recreation in nature, nature photograpfs etc.)
When people have just about lost hope, it is religion which helpos them overcome the danger of being totally abandoned. (the fate of communism connected to this?)
Natural symbolic acts become easy and meaningful because God can see them. So it is easier to emphazize importan things correctly.
Belief in God helps to find solutions which already exist but are much above the skill level of one's nearest environment.
