the decent thing to do is to say "yes, I'm sure she is"

No, the decent thing to do is say "I am glad this thought makes you feel better". There is no reason why you should pretend to believe something you don't believe in.

That said, the two things are also not comparable unless the person you say it to decides to start a violent movement in order to threaten the ones who refuse to play along with consequent legal, economical and sometimes physical punishment for not paying lip service. Or if that person uses people's kindness against them to destroy their rights.
