Well, it's only a placebo effect if you don't teach other people that it is what it is. I have no interest in understanding god to be a constructed metaphor but not teaching that to others. I suppose I think religion should be seen as a grand parable, not just by those teaching it, but by those following it. It's the same as me liking Buddhist teachings but not believing in karma or reincarnation in any metaphysical sense.
