Are there any good philosophy books that advocate religion, spirituality, or mysticism from a practical point of view? As in, something that is self-aware of it being an ideological system but still agreeing with it. Bonus points of it relates to postmodernism or critical theory in any way.

The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot fit closest to what you want here. All of Dostoevsky's major works feature Christianity prominently.
