I don't think you are stupid for believing in God. I just think that you are choosing to waste your existence. I guess you could say that is a stupid thing to do. In reality, there is no reason why you will be happier off with religion. Also, your last sentence sounds a lot like Pascal's Wager. The problem with that is that you are viewing this life as worth nothing when there is the possibility that it is worth everything.
Also, why do you call this place a wretched planet? The place is great. I have the ability to work hard and get what I want. I have the ability to love and be loved. I have the ability to exist for the sake of myself. This is all I know and to call it a "wretched planet" is basically like saying that my life here is worth nothing aka nihilism.

1. Why do you love your children? Because they're your children. Same reason God does.
2. I am happier off with religion. Without it, I would only be searching for it. Which is what all humans do, because of a gene which they have found that makes you believe in a God.
3. In the place besides this wretched planet, you get what you want for nothing, you also love and be loved, but unconditionally.
