Yet another argument for antitheism.
Sure, doesn't mean it's a good one.
There is a metric fuck ton of theists and religions. It's ludicrous to put all of them under the same umbrella and say they all serve the same function. They can partially believe in their religions as well. Of course, it's their religion comforting them. They're comforted by the idea of seeing their loved ones again, of being at peace and knowing it, of remaining conscious after death. They don't have to fear it if it doesn't exist.
