I'm not convinced that the religious have any particular advantages wrt akrasia and such things.
A conversion is sure to give you a great deal of energy & willpower temporarily, but ultimately that's a finite resource.
The main advantage the religious have is supportive community. That is where rationalists really fall down, although I think LW is a step in the right direction.
