False.
If someone is escaping reality for the mere comfort of fantasy, then that is not good. You can color it with semantics, claim that they are bettering themselves, but lying to one's self because one is too weak to live in the real world is not a good thing. Ignorance, brought about by religious belief, is not a good thing.
