What good is a religion that takes itself so seriously that there's no fun allowed?

If I wanted to have fun, first I'll consult myself to see what is the most fun thing to me, then I will consult the objective constitution that I follow to see if the fun "I'm trying to have" is legal".
A lot of religions claim to have objective truth, but I've yet to see one that can empirically demonstrate that they have objective truth.
One also does not need religion to make rational choices about balancing enjoyment with morality. (If an action exposes someone else to potential harm, it's probably not something that I would enjoy doing.)
