Spot on. Someone has said (can't be arsed to source it) that science is questions that must be answered, but religion is answers that must not be questioned.
But I think you may be onto something, rob - since religious belief is protected by law, that seems to make it rather impolitic to term such belief 'delusions', no matter how nutty they seem.

That's a good point.
It's a strange situation. My belief should be protected by law because I say it's a religious belief. How is that different from saying my belief should be protected by law because I say so? I wonder how the law itself would decide what is and isn't allowed.
