Religion comes in handy when there are no obvious answers .. (when there are it becomes science )

For example - what happens after death - a hopeless answer is you are dug into a grave or burned .. or whatever ..

A more hopeful answer is - your soul is reborn .. may be in a better body .. just like you change clothes , soul changes bodies .. of course it is not proven ..but if it helps you over the grief or be less scared of eventual demise - there is no harm accepting it as a base line ..

Besides - religion tries to underscore good practices - honesty is good - help thy neighbour .. turns out these things pay you back .. they are good not cuz religion said so - religion underscores them cuz they are good 😊
