What society thinks on the matter is entirely irrelevant to what actually is true.  If people are not willing to accept what is true in the real world, or at least what is best supported, then what's the point?  We might as well be believing in magical unicorns and leprechauns.
Then you and I will have different standards on what is considered mental illness and what is acceptable in society. The vast majority of the god delusion people I am not willing to categorize as mentally ill, neither is our society.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
