I know that many atheists on yahoo like to rip on people who believe in God, regardless of religion, often calling them morons. Yet if it helps people cope with life and thereby leading happy and prosperous lives, what is the harm?
Looking at it from an atheist perspective, we only have a short amount of time on this planet before returning to oblivion. If believing in a God helps a person remain happy throughout there life and gives them the ability to cope with harsh problems, is it not all for the better of that person?
I'm sure that some will counter with arguments about extremists or religious wars. Keep in mind that the vast majority of religious followers get along fine day-to-day, without harming anyone.
