Absolutely. Dyslexia, according to many is considered a gift because of the "highly visually oriented" learning style.
For example..
My just took his standardized tests for school and during the reading comprehension phase, he would score about 25-30% higher if the paragraph was read to him, versus than if he had to read it himself.
Visual thinking is quite amazing. Consider that many of the major inventors/theorists were dyslexics.
(ie: Einstein, Edison)

Does an athiest, dyslexic, who suffers from insomia stay awake at night pondering if there is a DOG?
I've never heard this. As one who has been dysletic for decades (past tense sedaced), the main problems seem to be the reversal of letters and numbers along with a (slight in my case) disconnect of words with their referents. (The map really isn't the territory.)
I do know of people considered dysletic who see numbers in arbitrary geometric patterns. Like:
44 477 34 8....
12 743 16 194....
2 45 466 744....
..............
Theses people have trouble with math; I had to teach them algorithmic rather than intuitive methods of computation. Fortunately I see the numbers in a line (ordered by magnetude). (I do see days of the year in a circle, Christmas on top and July 4 on the bottom. I know one person who sees a year as a horshoe with November connecting the ends.)
Studying music does seem to help with dyslexia. Perhaps it's because music uses different brain circuits or because one just learns more discipline.
I know about a teenaged dyslexic who was a very religious, Dog-fearing boy.
But then he fell in with the a devil-worshipping crowd and started praying to Santa.
