That religion solves problems like “get people to accept daily life with the murderer of their family” really doesn’t seem like justification, just a single positive aspect that probably doesn’t outweigh the negatives. That there aren’t many stronger justifications is also concerning.
To wit: The truth tells you not to jump off cliffs. That the truth is of no use to you once you have jumped off a cliff is hardly an argument against it. A useful lie telling you that you can fly will be very useful to you once you jump off a cliff, but that is hardly an argument for the useful lie when you’re considering your decision regarding the cliff-jumping.
