I'll go with this explanation and add a little expansion.
The (super)organism which is the religion prospers more, is more persistent and stable with more members. Its dependence on the delusions of its components to grow and prosper is a trait selected for. I expect the individual members prosper as well in their sense of well being, the protection of the community and as they ride along when the religion dukes it out with other religions, sometimes violently, sometimes not.
The specific urban myth is just one bit of variation in this blind amoeba on which selection works as is the special blindness of the faithful. The traits which survive selection become dogma, at least for as long as they remain useful.
The fact that they are not true is immaterial.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
