You felt relief without actively doing anything to right any of the wrongs you thought about. That sounds like repression. How is it moral to offload your wrongdoings of others onto a diety instead of attempting to make amends with the offended?
Assuming you’re asking in good faith, I’ll try to answer. Part of being a Christian (at least a good one) is repenting for your sins. It’s not just asking for forgiveness and forgetting about what you did, although I’ll admit some might see it that way. There has to be an actual will to do better and pay back your debt to those you’ve wronged
That's just being a good person. No god required.
