If/when the vast majority of the world becomes atheist, it would be far more reasonable to label anyone who claims to be communicating with God mentally ill. I agree that it's more like social conditioning right now.
Actually, here in England, you'd probably be considered that way by most people. I don't think I've met any religious people who make such claims, outside of genuinely ill people who will be displaying many other symptoms.
I wonder how a very outspoken hardcore religious person from America would cope if they were suddenly living in England. If they carried on in the same way, they'd be viewed as borderline crazy almost immediately. Would this cause them to scale things back? I bet that it would. Without the reinforcement from others, I expect it would all become rather subdued.
