I'm not sure if I actually agree with this film but it sits better with me than fundamentalism as a mental disease one. I suppose the point being made here is that its easier to believe in something like God and heaven because it makes us feel better. It helps us to deal with harsh reality to think that there is eternal happiness after you die or that there is always someone looking over you that can hear your prayers.
I didnt like that this was refered to as "silly nonsense" but I do find some comfort in knowing that at least people can understand why having faith is important to people. It doesnt necessarily have to be agreed with but seeing some good in it can help. Afterall a "life with meaning is better than a life with no meaning."
