   There are still major problems with faith, even if held by non-antagonistic people. Faith convinces people that belief without evidence is not only permissible, but is also a virtue, which will inevitably lead to people developing a mindset of accepting beliefs without critical examination, causing in people an inability to properly discern truth from non-truth even outside of a religious context. Faith is not good and should be rejected completely.

     Some people?

     The majority of the world believe in deities of some sort, with many countries ruled by non-secular governments.

     Atheists are a minority, and like other minorities (including religious minorities) have, and still do, face discrimination and persecution.

     Personally I see nothing wrong with faith, whether it be in God(s), scriptures, holy places or relics, inanimate objects, science or anything else. I don't think people are weak minded, deluded, misguided etc. They are just people trying to get through life the best they can with what they have and where they are.

     I do have an issue when faiths attack and belittle each other which is why I try not to do it myself.

     Religious organisations have a lot to answer for, but that's a different story.
