I mean... even as an Atheist my self I would think it would be much easier to believe in a god to explain where things came from (but of course that asks where did god come from) than the near mystical start of the universe and asking how that started in the first place. Like it completely boggles my mind to try to think about how everything started, even if some theories are true and the Big Bang was not the start at some point you would think something had to be a start to "stuff". Also frankly... religion brings comfort to a lot of people and as long as someone is not using it to harm someone else (like deny rights) than I don't think we should downplay or attack someone for believing in something that makes the hard parts (like the inevitability of death) easier to deal with.
