The people I'm talking about are the ones that attend church, or at the very least claim themselves religious, but they aren't sure if God exists or not. I know that being unsure means you're agnostic, and some theists are agnostics, but there are agnostics that say that they imagine that a God exists, because it gives them comfort. There is a difference between imagining something for comfort and believing it. So I don't know if I can call them theists.

To silly add sheep. The result you're describing is herd mentality behavior.

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