Yes, religion encourages non-logical thinking from early on and rewards believing anti-scientific things.
In most cases this isn't doing too much harm, but we can see how quick this can change. That's why 'harmless sky wizard' doesn't capture the dangers that evolve around religious, absolute believes imo.
I want to add that I don't agree with everything that e.g. Richard Dawkins says tho, in case this sounded like that. And ofc religion can give people strength or comfort but it can also give them false hopes and be used to manipulate people.
