Just because a religious belief is comforting does not make it true.
Yes, I know. But if a particular lie has no negative effect on your life, and can actually alleviate a lot of your worries and anxieties, it's probably a very good idea to endorse the lie.
I know it's a lie; as such, trying to pretend that such is not a lie would have a negative impact on my life; it's like trying to pretend that 2+2 = 5. I know that religious belief cannot alter reality, and in that respect, it takes a bad situation (one's own death & annihilation) and makes it even worse.
