Why is faith considered a virtue rather than the curse it really is?

The thing i don't understand is; why all the damn expensive church building and stuff? It costs tons of money just to make utterly useless structures just to worship a god.

Any god that is exalted above human intelligence should know that he does not need to be praised. And if god wants something built then why can't he do that himself?

I hate bringing up money, for i don't like that stuff anyways but im forced to use it ^^

“[All religions] make the same mistake. They all take the only real faculty we have that distinguishes us from other primates, and from other animals—the faculty of reason, and the willingness to take any risk that reason demands of us—and they replace that with the idea that faith is a virtue. If I could change just one thing, it would be to dissociate the idea of faith from virtue—now and for good—and to expose it for what it is: a servile weakness, a refuge in cowardice, and a willingness to follow, with credulity, people who are in the highest degree unscrupulous.”
