Basically the idea is they provide you the very basics to not have to worry about material survival and pursue higher or non-material things if that’s ‘part of the package’.
Emotional support, any belief can help with that, not just religion. Spiritual and astral are a more likely purpose, assuming the devotees will do the necessary steps prescribed properly by the esoteric side of said religions, i.e. don't be lazy and be wary with the snake oil scammers within the religions.
