Hey,
I have known very well many, many people that had an improved quality of life, and decision making process because of their personal relationship with theology. I don't think you can win the argument that in every situation, for every other person, theology has no benefit. May be to yourself, but that is not the statement you seem to be making.
For me to claim that nothing good can possibly come from agnosticism would be far from the truth, and demonstrably wrong. Just because Agnosticism holds no value to me does not make it hold no value for others. I assure you, without doubt I have seen good come of theology. I have had good results personally. There is a bad side, but that is not its totality.
I think it is foolish to forward that no benefit as ever come from theology. That is just my opinion.
Thanks,
