Yes, the acceptance of god not only implies, but allows for such a peace and harmony. Many such needs are filled within those who choose this path in life.

We humans are exceedingly good at self deception. We can rationalize anything. For example, we all see ourselves as basically good. Even criminals plotting their next crime think of themselves as basically good.
Once we convince ourselves we are basically good, then the reasoning goes like this: I don't know if God exists or not, but I think a good God would not send me, a basically good person, to hell. Now once all possibility of judgment is rationalized away, we can be at peace. Of course, it is a false peace that doesn't bear examination.

Probably for some.
Seems to me the issue of the existence of God has almost nothing to do with what human beings choose to do, feel, believe, about their own lives.
