The fact that someone believes there is a God or gods, or doesn't believe, is fairly useless. This fact in and of itself, doesn't do anything outside of tell something about what a person thinks. For something that would be relevant, one would need to look to what a person actually believes positively, and see the impact of what they believe is if they followed it. I would say, to say people merely need to have faith, without quantifying what they have faith in, doesn't do anything, and should be reduced to the study of placebos, and they effects of mind science on the body. It is disrespectful of the object someone can have faith in, and says what that object of faith can do doesn't matter.
