While comedy is made exactly for the purpose of laughing, religion isn't and billions say that it isn't.
While you use the term "trick"; I disagree with you in the case of Islam.

Comic writing has purposes beyond making people laugh. It frequently uses humour as a vehicle to examine vital social issues or ultimate existential conundra.
You’ve clearly never been exposed to the classic novel ‘The Snarkout Boys And The Avocado Of Death’ or its equally brilliant companion volume ‘The Snarkout Boys And The Baconburg Horror’. In the two books alone, you will find more meaning, more insight into the human condition than in all the holy books and religious commentary every written.

If some authors like to leave a "deep" story behind their humor, many others don't. Actually there are so many popular publications that serve nothing but the sole goal of making the reader laugh, generalizing on the whole industry is quite wrong to me.
I am interested in the novel you mentioned to me months ago, about the dark city with lots of crime and criminals. That one seemed interesting.

Of course you don't believe that you were tricked into believing your religion.
That's because you WANTED to be tricked into it - so you can conform to the societal norms it espouses.
If you take a good long look at why you believe it - you will come to the conclusion that you have no real reasons for believing it.
You just want to belong.
That's not a reason. It's an excuse.
Mere "belonging" is not my thing; you see I prefer to have "morals" and "strong reasons" behind my moves. I believe in God because the idea of a universe without a creator is silly to me: the design of it is too perfect it rings a strong bell.
I believe because it is the most logical thing out there.
