The primary problem with theism/deism/belief-in-supernatural to the believer as a person is that he is filling the gaps of ignorance with bs and thereby clinging to his ignorance. This actually makes him/her vulnerable to more bs over time. So even if you are not harming others, you are still harming yourself when you start with presupposition and don't seek to validate it.
i agree we should validate our beliefs thats why i still believe in God and have not discarded this belief because my belief in God has been validated
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today 
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
