It seems to me that strictly religious beliefs get a pass when it comes to being delusional. One man believes that a Jewish carpenter was actually the son of God with power to cure leprosy, blindness, death, calm storms, wither fig trees, cast out demons and so forth. A second man believes that leprechauns are real and have the power to grant wishes, bestow wealth and magically repair shoes.
Why are the latter beliefs adjudged to be delusional and not the former?
