in my opinion, strong people who can stand up for themselves during hard times are usually Atheists. No offense, but yeah, it comforts weaker people to think that there's someone out there who no matter what, gives a shit about them.
Also people want to be reassured they'll live forever, if they can convince themselves there's an afterlife, they will...
Obviously I'm an Athiest.
sorry if I offended anyone, this is only my opinion.

When life was brutally tough (physical abuse with a sprinkling of almost getting killed by mother several times), I was avidly atheist. When life got better and I was away from that, I starting becoming faithful to the beliefs I now have. Religion was never an escape for me. I'm sorry you think your way.
