There's so much irrationality in the world, everyone is guilty of them: irrationally believing in gods, irrationally being happy when someone else wins a sports match, irrationally being happy with a very expensive red sportscar, etc, etc, etc.

All of those things are rational. - Religion brings some people comfort and peace. - Sports speak to our tribal nature evolved over millions of years. - Sports cars are fun and exhilarating to drive and a status symbol or wealth and success, which help to attract mates.

  How does bringing comfort and peace mean that religion is not irrational? (I don't personally believe it is irrational, just that your logic is flawed.)

  But it is irrational that religion brings people comfort and peace. Why do stories do this?
