I'm not aware of any benefit of religion that can't be achieved as well as, if not better, by other means.
I view it as the equivalent of being drunk (I know this isn't an original thought). Sure. I could cope with life better too if I gave in to the bottle. Is it a good idea? No.
Peace with death and loss of loved ones?
I have achieved peace perfectly well. I remember reading that ideas about loved ones still being somehow alive after death can actually stifle the grieving process.
Even if religion could help here, which it wouldn't, it would still be the equivalent of getting drunk to drown my problems.
