Religion provides many people with comfort in difficult times, as well as a sense of purpose. Reason may tell those who enquire, that there is no God. And there are many ways outside religion to obtain comfort and solace. But people do not need to abandon their faiths just because logic and reason say so.
Of course, if the purpose of religion is to provide comfort or a sense of purpose, then which religion is practised is much less important now than it was when people were absolutely certain that their religion was the one true religion.
