The thing is, and I'm not at all the first person to point it out, any positive effect that religion can have on people can easily have secular alternatives with no strings attached. While I'm not going to drive people away from their religion (because that's not my job), I'm still in favor of setting up and supporting those alternatives so people don't have to go to religion for help.
