Scientology is mainly against psychiatry because Hubbard was pissed that the psychiatrists weren't impressed by his ideas in Dianetics.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Mental Illness is proof there is NO god

How in the FUCK does a loving gawd allow you to hear voices that want you to kill yourself and others?

I don't know about that but it seems a little over the top to conclude religion is mental illness. I know plenty of people who are theist and entirely rational. I doubt it.

Bad stereotype. Most religious people are perfectly rational in all areas of their lives except religion. And even then, the majority of religious folk are moderate about it. Your generalization is unjustified.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
