It doesn't logically lead to any other conclusion by itself. If it's a result of scepticism, then your problem is with scepticism.
How does trying to delude yourself into belief in a god help anything? You can have imaginary friends if they help you, without having to convince yourself they are actually real. Atheists are free to believe (or pretend to believe) anything else they want.
As I stated in that post, there is a non-moral feeling/emotional (mood) version of good and bad. This version of good and bad has nothing to do with our way of thinking. It is the only version of good and bad that gives actual good and bad meaning to our lives. If you are in a good mood, then your life is good regardless of what you think and tell yourself otherwise. If you are in a bad mood, then your life has bad meaning regardless of what you think and tell yourself otherwise.
