> And not just any something, but something exciting that inspires the imagination.

Are you implying that believing in religion does not inspire imagination?

I'm not merely implying it, but saying it outright: but with the qualification that it is true in "people who have a certain mindset".

People who have a different mindset from that one find religion inspiring.

It's nice for others to have something that is more in line with how they think.

The idea of a multiverse is a derivative idea from Western religion/philosophy. It's a modern variation of the principle of plenitude. "The principle of plenitude asserts that the universe contains all possible forms of existence."[1] It's not a peripheral idea either but a cornerstone of pre-modern western ontologies.
