I was saying rituals may well be good for health, but:
that doesn’t mean that the values (that may or may not be transmitted through the ritual) have any impact by themself (singing along is a painkiller even if you don’t believe any word you sing)
if it’s good for your health to put a plaster, that doesn’t mean plasters are so powerfull we should expect unplastered folks to need amputation. Similarly, just because it may be good for our mental health to practice (some?) rituals doesn’t implicate rituals are so powerfull we should expect most unritual (?) folks to need psychological services.
