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.
Yes but they should be able to believe what they want to believe. I mean if they are religious and what they believe isn't harmful or sways peoples views around them then they should be able to believe what ever they want...
Though only if it isn't harmful...
