That's a fair point on what positivity religion does provide but it's not like religion is all that provides that. And that hope and solace religion provides can be misleading. You can pray all you want but it won't make a difference if you've just been diagnosed with something like AIDS in some 3rd world country with ****ty or no health care.
Human beings are violent by nature too and correlation doesn't prove causation. Any study that explicitly says being religious results in a longer life shouldn't be taken seriously and is probably funded by a religious institution. Statistics like that should always be looked upon wearily.
