A religious belief is simply an idea, a thought, an opinion. It isn't something that can be measured or proven. It never will be and therefore has no right to any kind of special consideration . It only exists in some people's minds. It certainly has no right to be considered untouchable, undebateable or beyond criticism.

Yes it gives people comfort but when it is used as a way to control people or gives people reason to hate others who don't believe in the same - it becomes dangerous and more trouble than it's worth in my opinion.
