I agree it does, but for different reasons. Or maybe for that reason and others.

I don't think it's necessarily about feeling good. I think it's more about the fact that while religions might not be offering truth, some of them might have accidentally, or even through reason, come up with things that help people survive (as in survival of the fittest).

For example, the golden rule that all surviving religions have (treat other people as you'd like to be treated) is clearly going to produce a more viable society than one in which people are constantly trying to do each other over.

Or maybe a religion that bans foods that can be dangerous, like Jews and the ban on shellfish, may allow followers of that religion to survive better. Or maybe in a hot desert country a religion that specifies the cleaning of oneself in various places on a regular bases, as with Muslims, would help the population survive better.

So... it's not surprising that one of the most successful religions of all times, Catholicism, supports being nice to each other, eating fish once a week, shagging like rabbits once you're married (even providing Sunday school so there's a time when you can shag when the kids aren't about) but staying married no matter what to bring up the kids. These things are all things that help the religion survive, outperforming other religions and forms of society. However it doesn't mean that everything the Catholic church says is truth.
