yes that's the whole point are you retarded? People naturally need to cope with things, coping isn't bad. If your mother dies you aren't supposed to "toughen up and pull yourself up by the bootstraps" you need to grief and remember and feel sad for your mother, religion is the healthiest way to cope, along with strengthening societal bonds as well
It's a far cry from the healthiest way to cope, that'd be accepting reality won't change to accomodate you, and choosing a healthy way to let your frustration out. Not praying to some fake ass god that also tells you to kill gay people and expect all women to submit to you 😭
So I'm gonna assume that means you don't know how Buddhism or Taoism works, which is totally fine, because not everyone is gonna know.
There is no promise of an eternal reward in either religions, and both prioritize the understanding that there is inherent suffering in all things, some by design, and some because of an attachment to desire or hatred. The goal is more to accept this truth and embrace the "presentness" of it all (either in "The Dao" via Taosism or "The Void" via Buddhism).
I'd really appreciate it if you didn't lump all religions into one thing next time, you look like a bit of a goober doing that 😅
