Yes, that's probably a more articulate way of putting it, but Grindy also has a point (not sure if he was being sarcastic or not).
The thing about your celestial teapot statement is that the metaphysical beliefs of religions do have a bearing on earthly reality. Denial of reality or the understanding of it is a problem. People also use their metaphysical beliefs to assess and criticize earthly reality. I'm not sure I understand where you're are coming from. It seems contradictory.
