I think faith is /was a response to our once happy little monkey brains becoming self-aware creating a real fracture between the monkey and his environment. Faith tries to patch that up. This doesn't preclude the existence of a deity, but alters our mental construction of one in ways which may not be helpful in a more scientific age.
Excellent question, more thinkin' later.
