What about motivating people like Bonhoeffer, Wilberforce, and Dr. King?
Yeah, I'm really not sure how anybody could claim faith has NO benefits. I mean-- it makes someone feel good. It gives them a sense of peace. It prevents them from getting kicked out of their family's church. Those are all obviously benefits.
The real discussion should be whether the benefits of faith outweigh the benefits of not having faith. That's a lot more grey.
