You might be right. Many people do talk about how their lives were changed by religion rather than how God wants them to follow religion. I don’t have enough experience with this to know which is more common, but, upon reflection, it seems probable that many people practice religion for reason that I would describe as selfish (though not entirely egoistic because people also care about their families and friends, as well as have at least some level of concern even for far away people).
