I don't think SONIC GAIL or those like her are contributing to the world's problems simplying by having a religion or just believing in a God. It's the ones using religion to justify hateful/violent actions who are causing havoc and they're just assholes to begin with. As I'm sure we all know, some people give other people like them a bad name, and the innocent are lumped in with the guilty.
That said, I cannot agree with the idea that humans need to be threatened with some sort of divine punishment in order to stay in line. That tells me you have more faith in God than humanity; i.e. your very flesh and blood, that of your children, lovers, friends, and the basis of everything you know.
