We should want to cure them.
Therefore diseases are not for a greater good for humanity.

Did we answer this one yet? (apologies I can't be bothered to read all of this thread)

Humanity serves it's own ends. This question fails to address religion as religion covers more than humanity. The greater good =/= the greater good for humanity.

Outside of humanity, where do you find religion?

Prior to some charlatan inventing the ultimate con game called religion it was to be found no where.
