I think that does answer the question - for a lot of people, the reason they’re religious is because they find it personally beneficial for one reason or another.
I guess I’m putting emphasis on the word “believe” and you seem to be seeing religion as a way to find comfort. This is why I feel you are not actually answering the question that OP posed.
Perhaps I’m taking the question too literally.
Adding more to this. The question is why do you believe in religion, not why you are religious. To me, there’s a difference between the two of these.

yup, religion has made me mentally stable so I guess it’s beneficial to me at least.
