They are harming themselves by believing a lie. I feel sad for them, because handing over responsibility for their well-being to a non-existent supernatural being won't solve anything and will prevent them, in many cases, from improving their lives.
Absolving themselves of responsibility by thinking they've handed themselves over to 'god' is a great waste of human life.
