There is a contradiction in the two statements you make below:
The "Third Man" could be explained using many things. I believe that it is most likely a hallucination.
I merely want discussion over whether Religious belief is a helpful tool in a survival situation, not whether God, Vishnu, Allah, or Thor exists or not. Thank you.
You dismiss what some people might regard as a real spiritual experience (possibly a rare instance of communion with God) as hallucination, but then you say that's not what you want to talk about. Make up your mind!
Anyway, I think it's more productive to talk about "how useful is it?" rather than "is it real?" as long as there isn't some sort of ulterior motive to push one religious agenda or another. From that perspective, it seems that the Third Man would be immensely useful -- at least the survival accounts I've read have convinced me of it, so much so that I'd love to have the Third Man hang out with me all the time. Even if he is a hallucination.
By the way, I am starting a fight club with my friend Tyler Durden.
