Comment on "Religion is about emotion regulation, and it’s very good at it."

One wonders how the effect upon the consumers of religion can be entirely beneficial if it is necessary to believe in an all-powerful supernatural being to experience it.  But what is the effect upon the purveyors of religion if they are required to employ falsehoods to sell it?  In particular, why do we provide tax breaks for churches if they are based upon sales fraud?  What is an atheist to think about the benefits of religion claimed by Professor Asma?   I shall have to consider these questions.  As I said earlier, Aeon is a good magazine.
