"Cultural" being the operative word. The Greeks believed there were gods who lived on Mount Olympus, not because they were sick, but because they were wrong. By your rationale, every member of a stone age Amazonian tribe is sick because they believe in the gods and spirits of the forest. They're not sick. They're wrong.
