I believe that my religion is rational for several reasons. Why would it be rational to hurt my mother? She's deeply religious, and if her children became agnostic / atheist, it would destroy her.

This is not a reasonable basis for rationality. Something is either true, or it isn't. It doesn't matter how much you would like for something to be true, or how much it would hurt your mother for something to not be true - these things just simply do not matter. The universe doesn't care about you, or me, or anyone else. We are a speck of dust that could be wiped out of existence in a cosmic millisecond, and the universe wouldn't even blink an eye. This is not rationality is any sense whatsoever.
