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.

Just for the sake of discussion, maybe a better analogy would be to strongly intuitive notions like solidity and ownership. Solids are mostly empty space in reailty. And we seem hardwired to percieve the intangible what is mine versus what belongs to others.
