Does he more or less say that religion only exists in a virtual reality, which he "believes" only because doing so is aesthetically pleasant?

So, if I choose my "religion" to be e.g. Tolkien's canon, it is equally valid as Judaism, and any objections can only be made on the aesthetical level (such as "I find circumcision to be more cute than elves and orcs")?
