Only if naively only count goals as stated by the religion itself, and only first order effects.
(E.g. if one examines whether there's really a heaven people go to, as opposed to examining whether the thought of such a place existing providing great psychological and personal benefit to the believer -- among tons of other similar things, I'm not even touching upon the impact on society, ethics, etc).
