I'm not saying you're wrong, I can see sense in your arguement. The thing is though, he is in that predicament, is it fair to tamper with that?

he doesn't appear to be in the predicament any more, and it sounds a little desperate to suggest that telling him that he has a good reason to think this and therefore it is not 'faith' is a dangerous thing to be saying.

It may not work for you, but it certainly worked for this guy. He is almost like his old self. If a book, belief or place of worship can give him that relief then I think it's a good thing for him.
You may think that he has swapped one imprisonment for another, but if this is true, then in his case I believe it is the lesser prison.

He found Christianty I believe from a family member some time after his child passed away.

The thing is, he believed his child had died and that was it. They was gone. From your point of view he believed the truth, he just couldn't handle it. He turned to faith and this allowed him to continue. Is that so bad?

like i said, some people may prefer a comforting lie to the cold truth. if the religion works for the guy and doesn't harm or try to harm others he's welcome to it; i hope it comforts him. have you actually read any of my comments on religion? it doesn't sound like it tbh

not really faith itself, though, is it? the article of faith might be.

I don't actually understand, sorry.

it's what is being believed that has the effect, not the act of believing something for no reason and against evidence.
