As far as "afflictions" and "defect", you're trying to insert via language your views, without supporting them. You haven't shown that religious people are stupid, "cognitively deficient", "afflicted", "defective", or any other pejorative you wish to attach to them based upon your own distaste. Classing an entire swathe of people as "cognitively deficient", "afflicted", "defective" (or any other phrase you wish to use) simply based on their belief-system reveals an understanding of intelligence on your part that is very shallow.
Don't forget "insane."
Well, you are a bit touched ...
