This does suppose that rationality and logic are exclusively best...and viewing the world in those terms can be dangerous. There is, quite simply, more to the universe than what can be rationally known. From the very beginning of our tenure as a species, there have been attempts to tap in to that reality...an area that empirical thought simply cannot understand.
Moreover, it's an unbelievable assumption to claim that all forms of religious consciousness are irrational, and damage the human existance. There is hardly anything, dare i say it, rational about claiming something that you cannot prove.
