Again, that is not a valid argument in favor of religion.
Religion is a lie, plain and simple. When faced with wanting to continue with believing in the comfort of a lie or accepting the harsh truth, most people will unreasonably choose the lie over the truth.
The truth, for those who have the intellectual honesty to admit it, should always be preferential over a well-meant lie that merely continues to deceive.
