You're overlooking one thing, though. Where does the idea that "religion has the exclusive hold on "deep" questions" come from? Could it be that religion plays on cognitive biases and emotional needs better than anything else? Also, if we're talking about religion in the sense of a "big belief system that prescribes beliefs," what about secular religions? Many atheists simply trade in one faith for another in the form of, e.g., communism, Objectivism, transhumanism, etc.
