A loose “theory” of the dynamics of religious belief
#4
RE: A loose “theory” of the dynamics of religious belief
I agree. If they want to live within the context discovery of a fantasy delusion and limit it to like minded individuals I have no problem with that. That discovery comes mostly from brain washing the young. 

The problem is that they don't limit their views and actions to the individuals within the group. Like a cult (at least christians/muslims, probably others) they try to reach out and convert. Plus, they try to make the rest of society play by their very limited rules. That is when the rest of us hear their rationalizations and justifications, that only make sense in the context of their religion. If they happen to be in the majority with in the society the minority then suffers. Sometimes it allows them to justify killing.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
