I don't think it's dishonest to inspire people to believe in something that helps them treat each other better. And I think it's actually a problem for people when they feel like faith in the supernatural must rely on something tangible.

Religion is about the supernatural, not the tangible. No religion's scriptures would stand up to solid scrutiny.
So, many roads lead to the top of Fuji-san?

This may well be how it is, but still very arbitrary, and contrary to the teachings of the Book of Mormon.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
