I can't really say this has been the most productive debate. If you are using numbers of adherents to a belief system to qualify it as delusional, then atheists are delusional.
If adherence to what is plausibly real is your metric, theists are.
What one finds plausible is highly subjective. Personally I don’t think you are going to get anywhere by just calling a large group of people delusional, and that you need to support your claim with more than personal opinions.
