Are Psychology and Religion compatible concepts?

I expressed my personal view on faith in God in a separate thread. As for the rest, yes, I believe in human potential, but I assure you that this has nothing to do with my profession.
To the second question, the answer is affirmative. Even the very translation of "psychology" sounds like the science of the soul. In general, in theory, psychology deals relatively little with faith in the supernatural; it is more about the science of the human being, their experiences, and their relationships with others. By the way, there is a science about God called Theology. In my opinion, it is a mixture of philosophy, psychology, and religion, so I think psychology does not prevent a person from believing in anything. However, it is a completely different matter when this faith turns into a pathology, as I mentioned above.
HERE! You don't believe in God. Now I will write an interpretation from Genesis:
"...In the 3rd chapter of Genesis, Adam, having listened to the voice of Satan, ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, and began to live with this knowledge of good and evil, trusting not God, but himself. Today, many people live not according to the word of God, but according to human standards of good and evil, formed by Satan, and they judge themselves and others by these standards. The result of trusting oneself and turning away from God was unhappy and disastrous. This is similar to the life of Memphibosheth, who was afraid of David, listening to his nurse..."
This once again shows that psychologists rely on human standards of good and evil and judge by the same standards.
P.S.: I didn't mean to offend anyone
