Personally I feel like I have sufficient evidence for my faith, but that doesn't mean I believe in everything I hear. So I don't see how an outsider could conclude that I'm delusional.

The same way that a psychologist deems someone, who has subjective evidence for his faith in killing other people, as delusional.

Subjective, personal faith is not a safeguard against delusion.
