Some people would unquestionably be better off with some kind of non-rational (not necessarily irrational) belief to comfort them. The unfortunate thing is that the predominate religions are dogmatic in nature. Even those believers who are not dogmatic themselves help keep the beast alive by supporting it. I'm all in favor of non-dogmatic religious belief because it provides the crutch some people are better off with without the negative societal effects of an organized beast like Christianity or Islam.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
