When is a Religious Belief Delusional?

[robvalue]

I don't consider that having a delusion necessarily implies any kind of mental problem. It's more to do with how and why it arises. If you're surrounded by people who think the same way, it's much less likely to suggest there's anything to worry about than if you hold such beliefs in isolation.

Some countries are completely packed with theists, mostly all of the same religion. It's ridiculous, in my opinion, to suggest they are all mentally ill. They have been indoctrinated, and they have their beliefs reinforced every single day.
