Actually, there are not chemicals associated with theism. There are, however, chemicals proven to be associated with love.

I'm sorry, I'm not making this clear enough. There are three distinguishable processes of perception: affective (emotional), cognitive (perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning) and volitional (free will). Love is an affective process of perception by it's very definition, and does not include the cognitive or volitional at all. Belief in god is a combination of all three, though it asks you to suspend cognitive reasoning. The emotional aspect changes from person to person, but to simplify, it could be that one has an emotional attachment to religion or faith as someone would have for any other ever present environmental factor (like he idea of "home", for example). It's cognitive because it calls on you to perceive the world around you within a certain construct, and it requires memory ("I believe in one god, the father almighty, maker of heaven and earth"...will always be in my mind) for various dogma and biblical (spiritual texts) verses. It requires judgment, in that one must judge the faith itself as well as the faith's effect on one's self, others, and our world. Faith is also volitional in that it requires free will to accept faith.

I hope this has been helpful.
