Religion should be encouraged if it has positive effects on people.What do you think?

RE: Religion should be encouraged if it has positive effects on people.What do you think?
There was a time when I considered that maintaining the official state religion may have some benefit on society as a whole.
Observations of the CofE in times when such direction could easily have been shown, eg; the aftermath of Islamist terrorist attacks, the Church chose to justify and excuse the terrorists, blame the victims.
This is not the occasional aberration but a consistent policy to promote 'faith'.
Ultimately there can be no quarter, The bishops must be purged from the Upper House and their influence ended.
