If you are claiming that deities only exist in the same way, you might be able to avoid the delusion label...Platonism was the first major philosophical mistake.
Is there anyone who will fucking answer the question clearly and without caveat!!! Is it or is it not delusional to be a Platonist and/or believe in intellectual objects such as 'The Good'? YES or NO?
I think that the answer is that morality is subjective until you call someone by the wrong pronoun, or refuse to bake a cake. And testimony is not evidence, until a rather shady character, testified under pressure against a president that you don’t like.
