I was being facetious. I'm sorry I didn't make that plainer.
However, to address your point, I don't think religion is a mental disorder. Nor is being wrong -- which is the larger set to which religion belongs, in my book. Now, if you want to go to clinical terms in your attacks on religious folk (like my sister), perhaps you should link to the clinical definition of religious disorder so that I know what it is you're actually talking about.
I might have overstated delusions as their own class of mental illness but it's still an unhealthy state of mind and that's what the result of indoctrination is.
And I didn't say believing in a god and that one knows its will makes a person a piece of shit (just a dupe until they start acting on the shitty side of their belief), I said pretending (as in being pretentious) they know. That means they know better that there isn't really one and are just using it to further an agenda. Like that fake-ass dickhead Ray Comfort. I'm on the fence about whether Ken Ham genuinely believes or is just pretending but he sure as hell isn't above using it to dupe those who believe likewise which is completely contrary to what he claims to believe in. Apparently jeebus was full of shit when he said the rich would have a hard time getting into heaven. But he's still a cunt for doing what he does.
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?
