Agreed
Also I don't get why people are taking offense at that notion. Religious books are full of stories that usually have a moral, so it's meant to be escapism as well as a kind of education/enlightenment.
Some of the best comfort books to read as an adult are young adult fiction. You don't have to think when you're reading one because it's geared towards a younger audience. They still have great characters but the motivations are simpler making it easier to slip into them. The plots tend to be less subtle and more straight forward even if they're a mystery. Never let the supposed age of an intended audience stop you from reading a good story. A good story is a good story regardless of your age.
