Well as Voltaire said
'If God didn't exist it would be necessary for us to invent him'
The point being that we all need belief systems, it's part of the human condition. Even the atheist takes a spiritual stand by the mere fact of denying the existence of God
The thing is that it advances us not one jot to deride another's beliefs or practices. You may as well rage against someone just because their eyes are a different colour from yours. It's not the colour that matters but rather what function the eyes perform that makes them important.
