Religion isn't bad at it, but I believe the act of giving these people false hope in itself isn't "good". The charitable acts are good, but the "you can be saved if you follow this guideline for the rest of your life" part is simply proselytizing and is no different from other religious people saying "believing there's a god makes me feel good". I think the truth is more important than feeling special and happy, especially when this special feeling comes with a moral code that's as atrocious as the bible.
