I'm not so sure it's a delusion, most theists are theists because they were bought up that way and do not question it. Some of them will never think to question, some do not care. I think the smarter one's like yourself and Frodo are deluding yourselves, i base that on of lack of proof, but i think the same for deists. But at the same time, i can see why some people want to believe. It's slightly romantic to think you'll see your first love or your deceased wife again at the pearly gates. I will vote for something else, as i think it's more than 1 option and each case is different.
Not a dig at you and Frods btw.
