Religion is several of those boxes, which have already been opened for centuries.
Faith, (by which I mean deliberately attempting to believe something to a degree of certainty which exceeds what is warranted by the available evidence) is one of those boxes that should be sealed up and ejected into space, or at least made to be deemed immoral by the majority of people, since it obviously is immoral.
