As an atheist, I am nonetheless convinced that a belief in God is a good thing for society in general, provided that differing concepts of God (or of no God) are not proscribed.

But I am not convinced that if a belief is useful, it must therefore be true.

We have a saying in the army - "If it seems stupid but works it is not stupid."
