Religion (Only) When You Need It?

What do you think of the principle of turning to religion only when you feel as though you need it? For instance at a time of stress, despair, or loss?

Do you think that there is anything wrong with turning to religion only at these times? Would you say that it is selfish? Disloyal to the God(s) involved?

Does it make a difference if there are no Gods involved with the religion you turn to in your time of need?

Does it make a difference depending on which religion you turn to?
