You know who actually appears to believe in fairies? Mel Gibson. In 1997 he (his company) made and appeared in a movie about girls that claimed to photograph the fairies. The movie is called "Fairy Tale: A True Story" - the predecessor of Gibson's biggest movie about a creature from the fairy land. The movie takes fairies serious, like they really exist and girls really photographed them and everybody in the movie that doesn't believe in the fairies is a sad empty shell of a human being (even Harry Houdini believed in them according to this movie!)
We also learn that belief in fairies enriches people's lives, it literally brings hope to sick and sad people, but although belief in fairies make us happy we should not pray to them to heal us but we should pray to our guardian angel.
But what is extra stupid about this movie is that by that time even those girls, that grew up in old women, admitted that they faked the whole shebang and yet Mel Gibson and his movie does not care; they don't even mention it like in the post movie screen, Mel is going to believe in fairies no matter what.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
