Being born in post collapse ex soviet state(Imagine the collapse of UK or US), I think a lot of poor people getting disappointed in life would just quit it if it wasn't for invisible happy land and painful land waiting for them.


I have a good friend who acknowledges that, logically, God's existence seems unlikely. But on an emotional level, she makes a conscious choice to believe because she's been through some truly traumatic and awful events and she can't live in a world where those things happened to her without reason. So I see some truth to your statement.
