I don't want to knock it too much, as belief in intangible, mostly nonsensical things is pretty much the cornerstone of all civilization and can more than frequently be a benign good and very occasionally result in expressions of real beauty. Shit only gets out of hand when following the guidance of the nonsensical thing is insisted upon when overwhelming evidence shows that a) the nonsensical thing is at odds with empirical reality b) following its guidance could lead to serious harm.
Of course, that's most of human history right there. It's Patton Oswalt's Sky Cake vs. Sky Pie.
