Saying that religion is useful is completely different than saying that religion is true. Islam has helped millions through life's crises, also; does that make Islam true?
Amazing! You and I have something in common as I was a catholic most of my life. I love debating calvinists and dispensationalists and so on, but I'm more concerned with following Jesus. Christians, like everyone else on the earth, will disagree until the end of time. No sense getting hung up on it. I might stop pursuing a graduate degree if I had very important work to do for God, but I wouldn't let it go to sit around and debate this kind of stuff.
Jesus is dead; you are not even following an "idea", because no one truly knows what Jesus said, let alone taught.
