Yeah, it's a paradox we face every day in the medical world. A patient comes in all triumphant and happy because they've tried homeopathy/relexology/insert placebo here. Ethically, there is an obligation to inform and empower, but do you really want to? Telling them their lower back is better because their placebo led them to get off their arse and start moving around might jeopardise it.
Of course there is research which shows placebos can work even if you know they are placebos as well.
But to the op, have no fear, your not stripping anyone of anything. Religion has safeguards built in. You, goddless heathen scum, are of the devil you see? We can't trust anything you say. The Bible warned us against you. Thus is the status quo maintained.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
