Believing in Deities is a Form of Psychosis

And the saving grace of that comfortable delusion is that it doesn't have to be a permanent condition. Being delusional (or even outright suffering from psychosis) is perfectly able to be overcome or treated and cured or at least managed. But being downright stupid, well, different story; luckily you have to really go digging to find genuine stupidity absent of religious delusion.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
