Religion is neither a positive or negative force. For every positive example of the effects of religion there is a negative example. The same religion that preaches love thy neighbor says it is alright to genocide other people if they do not believe in the same god. Basically it is a large delusion that some people seem to need just to tolerate their miserable lives. Which unfortunately prevents many of them from rectifying their problems.

What cannot be argued is that mixing religion which is basically brain washing, and mental illness rarely has a positive outcome. Think about it someone who's grip on reality is tenuous at best being exposed to ideas about magical invisible beings watching them at all hours of the day, and another magical character that wants to burn them forever. Seriously thats like tossing napalm onto a lit match. They are already paranoid and terrified so its a good idea to encourage that.
