Not my grandma, she always says it's God that helps her through her troubles and that her faith in his support is what helps her cope with bad times.

There are other ways that I totally agree, she says God helped her survive, but in those cases I remind her it's her own intelligence and resourcefulness that got her through those situations.

What I mean, which I didn't make clear in my original post, was: If religion was erased before she was born, she'd still find something to place her faith in and power up her innate resourcefulness. And the people who force their views on others would find another authoritative vehicle for that. But you're right, if you rip that foundation out now, you risk more harm than good.
