Got an instance of mine that we can discuss, or is this selective memory covering all atheists?
Here... right now. Or are you not making a claim about reality, which you are saying that the religious are show a disconnect from? At the very minimum; you seem to be making some type of claim. Or baselessly calling people names with nothing backing it up.

Perhaps the reason that the religious are so vehemently opposed to labels like cult and delusion is that they hit too close to home. If there were no way in which these labels were even close to accurate, the religious would have no difficulty shrugging them off and simply saying that it ain't so. But they don't. They get all butthurt if you even suggest such things. Familiarity breeds contempt in this case, I think.
I just ask that you support your claim.
