What is the evidence that "she does not receive any benefit of believing in God"? I would expect that with her attitude she would be accepted and included into religious communities.
I think EY just means that she doesn't get the benefit from truly believing in God, but another, possibly similar, benefit one gets by deceiving oneself into believing in God.
