When you say there are no good reasons in support of theism, I assume you mean the truth of theism, not the idea that it may create positive externalities? Or are you claiming that there is no benefit to theism whatsoever?
If the territory is to be faithfully represented, we cannot say that the existence of a deity is a necessary component, but that doesn’t necessarily imply that the existence of religion is a pure negative.

Yes, I was just talking about the truth of theism. The existence of religion isn’t a pure negative, but I think the human race could do better.
