This is a red herring. Whether a religion is useful or not depends on "useful for what"? Princes and popes have certainly found it useful for controlling people and taking their money.
But how does that have any bearing upon whether or not it's true? People are given medical placebos all the time, and those placebos can even have a positive effect.
