What does religion give emotionally that a spouse can't, or a hobby or personal achievement?
Or do you mean it emotionally soothes people who are afraid of the unknown and/or death? Because I feel emotionally satisfied without believing there is a bearded man in space.
What does belief in an intangible super being give you that things in the real world can't other than a false sense of security when you're on your death bed?
