Is art necessary? or music?
Not really, but some people enjoy it. I enjoy it so much I still attend regular talks on it at university to learn more about that way of thinking. I study ethics which sometimes draws upon religious teachings, sometimes criticises it.
You can't be right about this issue really, or wrong. Some people are better because of it. Some people turn away from crime because of religion, some get real comfort from it.
A friend of mine used to be tied up in drugs and crime and now he's 'found God' and whilst I don't agree with half of what he says, I think it is brilliant that something has gave him the focus to find a person in himself that doesnt need drugs and crime.
I think that is something to be thankful for and if that is wrong well then it's a very sad state of affairs.
