No. If we look at the damage done to the world due to religion, philosophy, and atheism, we can quite clearly see that they are very far from the same value.

Somehow, your remarks remind me of a saying about it being good to have an open mind, but not so open that one's brain falls on the floor. Once something has been supported by good evidence, it is reasonable to believe it. And not all positions are on the same level. Some have no evidence in favor of them at all.
"A wise man ... proportions his belief to the evidence."
