Atheism is unstoppable.

I suppose that technically speaking, the thing it offers that makes it different from any normal social system is delusion.

People may argue that the delusion can bring hope, provides placebo effects, gives a sense of purpose and security, and removes uncertainty.

This is true, but the bigger question is what the cost of this is, and if it’s worth it. In my opinion, it is not worth it. Ironically I can’t benefit from it even if I wanted to, but I could achieve much the same effect by the use of various substances. I choose not to do that, because I want to live in reality so as to make the best decisions for those around me. I do understand that life can be shit, and we all need ways of coping.
