Of course it does!  If I lose my keys, do I just assume that a fairy took them?  How do you distinguish between someone who is a functional schizophrenic from someone who has a "genuine" religious experience?

By diagnostic interview. Not all schizophrenics have religious experiences. If they do, you'll find that the schizophrenic thought process is fractured and tangential with inconsistencies and disorganization. Also the affect will often not be appropriate to the conversation.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
