I would even oppose that framing of religion being something you need to escape.

  1. Strong community bonding, most people are social animals that like being associated with a group
  2. Giving sense to charitable actions that they would otherwise not perform
  3. A general sense of security and comfort

As I said I myself am not religious. It doesn't work for me. But to just flat out deny that religion has benefits to people is blatantly dismissive of the things that make a lot of people happy.
