Another obvious question. Re faith as a virtue

RE: Another obvious question. Re faith as a virtue
(October 1, 2012 at 2:38 am)Doubting_Thomas Wrote: To mono-theist religious peops. Is all faith a virtue or only faith in your religious group's version of god?

For example, is a faithful satanist at least a bit more virtuous, by reason of their faith in a higher being, than an atheist who has no faith in a higher being?

Another way of putting this question :-

Is it better to believe in no religion than to believe in a false religion ?

(I know, I know, they're all false, but how would a theist answer.)
