No. Faith isn't a virtue. People voluntarily deluding themselves, is offensive.
Sure, most people had this passed down to them, but there is no part of religion worthy of respect.
To believe in something which is not real, however seemingly innocuous, disconnects how a person makes decisions from the truth. When a person lives their life that way, they will cause unnecessary harm to themselves and others
Faith could even said to be foolish. The Bible contradicts itself on that point though. Proverbs 1:7 says
But is it wise to accept instruction or alleged wisdom from somebody who has not proven their knowledge, or even their existence? Seems foolish to me. Even the idea of fearing the lord is foolish after so many years of no evidence.
And once they've accepted that there is s magic man who lives in the sky without proof, their tiny minds are open for Scientology / conspiracy theories and all manner of damaging bullshit.
