I think in a broad sense its a harmless belief.

But jihadis who kill apostates and rape and murder infidels, now thats fucked up faith.

Belief in god hampers the search for knowledge. If the answer is god can do anything by magic then looking for how stuff really happened is pointless.

While in theory this is true, I don't think that in actual practice it has that much of a stifling effect.

It takes all kinds to make a world. Not everybody is on a search for knowledge. Some just want to live their lives.
