Coded Logic and MadGiant, you are headed down the road I was hinting at. I protest however that our innate sense of right and wrong, of justice, is not a product of reason. And mirror neurons are overrated. Pinker summarizes the results of several studies that demonstrate that there are other forces at work, in his book, "The better angels..."
I maintain that some of our innate qualities where we voluntarily set aside our reason, such as loyalty, romance, hope and faith, drive us to greater risk and potential reward beyond what reason would dictate.
There is nothing innate about faith that demands it be evil.
How about the potential to do greater damage through faith from a bad decision (from the idea that illogical love hurts only two)? My parent's marriage, for instance, a terrible mis-match, harmed more than two people.
You might have a stronger argument that an abusive and charismatic leader has greater potential for harm if he manages to invoke the power of faith in his followers. I suggest however such abuses can be mitigated by a democratic organization as we do in politics.
I don't think that organizations such as the Boy Scouts, sports teams, or churches are inherently dangerous just because predators target them. There tends to be greater trust in the good-will of the participants, and a good part of that is justified. Don't throw out the clubs because they "might" be dangerous. Mitigate the risk.
