Well the point is the belief in God can be less useful than belief in morals, self, praise, etc, and the latter type can be necessary for humanity, it doesn't make either one more true or not. From naturalism perspective, I think the strength of our beliefs in self, praise, morals, perpetual identity, comes from the strength of the need. It won't make them true and is unrelated to how true the beliefs are.
Perhaps belief in God is needed as well, but not to the same degree, and hence it's less intense in humanity.
It won't make it true how much we need it.
Such is the delicate nature of these properly basic beliefs.
