I think the belief in any supernatural God is a delusion, in the sense its a false belief and its also often held very strongly - despite the fact its completely baseless.
I don't see why Christianity would be any more delusional in particular than any other religion. Or indeed any supernatural belief.
Sure perhaps some religions are arguably crazier than others (Sam Harris makes the point that Mormonism is basically just Christianity + some really stupid ideas, so it's objectively slightly more improbable than Christianity in general).....BUT - belief in any supernatural being in the sky that is totally omnipotent and having such strong belief in him, having faith, - having such a big belief as this despite no evidence whatsoever is a delusion. Whatever supernatural God it be.
I agree with Dawkins that its a delusion as in the 'false belief' a delusional belief sense....to believe in any form of SUPERNATURAL God...
Dawkins states in TGD that he is attacking all Gods....as in all supernatural Gods. I also think that belief in a supernatural superbeing altogether is delusional....
I don't see why on earth to single out Christianity in particular (or indeed any religion....deism is still a massive claim IMO even without all the absurdities....just due to sheer improbability that is believed completely on 'faith' (no evidence whatsoever)...and say Christianity is psychosis???
I think belief in all Supernatural Gods is delusional. Some may be arguably more intuitively absurd than others. But they are all delusional because they are all false beliefs in a super being completely taken on faith without any real evidence whatsoever which wouldn't be accepted (or at least, not as much) on other matters.
