The kicker here is that it's completely irrelevant whether or not Ahri spends his life figuring out what the truth is - already believes many things which cannot be true by reference to each other. It takes no extra time to figure that out.
That, for example, god is good because it answers his prayers and believing as much even if it weren't true makes him feel good..but... also that god certainly isn't benevolent because it doesn't answer every prayer and for those people, believing makes them feel like unworthy shit. A position which he seconds, talking about the rights of those people, ignoring his similarly deficient position with regards to the same.
