We can real world which philsophy has not proven to be real to explore what actually is more useful, but it would suffice to simply say a believer in god who admits whether his belief is not necessarily of any use at all to anyone else whatsoever, wouldn't be attacked.

Why would he have to believe that? Why isn't the idea that you have a Creator who will show you who you are and the true perception of praise or condemnation of all your actions one day, not a useful idea for everyone? If they believed this was true, why wouldn't they want everyone to believe in it?

If they believed their Creator sent guidance to humanity, why wouldn't they believe others should follow that guidance?

Now personally, I don't mind if people believe in a Creator or supernatural or not, what matters to me is being a good person, but I understand people other perspective, when God means the world to them.
