Actually, studies show that, for the most part, participation in religion that is positive has a positive effect on mental health or perceived mental health. In those instances where religion has a negative effect (persecution/fixated on sin) more mental disorders are identified.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
