As C.S. Lewis wrote, “If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be; if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all.”

Incredibly naïve, imo. It's about as compelling a reason to believe as Pascal's wager.

You’re saying truth doesn’t compel belief.
