Plus you are asking the wrong question. Does it matter if God exists if for those People who are comforted by their faith, their burden is lessened? The rest of it is irrelevant.
That's a separate category of apologetic (or a separate category of error): a lot of arguments for the existence of God are actually arguments for the utility of faith. Something like "Jesus gives me comfort" isn't a good reason to think that Jesus exists, but it is an argument for why it's useful to believe in him, whether he exists or not.
Personally, I think that I'm better able to reach my goals (including finding comfort) if I base my beliefs on what's actually true, not on whether they directly provide me comfort. But that's me.
