Faith, as anything else, has benefits and disadvantages. But its disadvantages are much more than its benefits.

Atheism and pure scientific thinking have benefits and disadvantages, but their benefits are much more than their disadvantages.

To pick out a narrow angle from the whole scene is not fair. It is like saying that heroin makes a man very happy and not to mention the harmful effects of it and its addiction. OK.. we may make use of heroin for special cases in definite times for small period, this is how we should treat religion !
