"And what about metaphysics?"
Metaphysics is a traditional branch of philosophy.
"Metaphysics investigates principles of reality transcending those of any particular science. Cosmology and ontology are traditional branches of metaphysics. It is concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world.[1] Someone who studies metaphysics can be called either a "metaphysician" or a "metaphysicist".[2]" (wiki)

To label believers generally as deluded is a view held by many atheists. It's not a view shared by myself or held within the discipline of anthropology as far as I'm aware..
