I never said worthless, there are some good educational stories, but the stories came from men and not god(s). Claiming god is a means to claim authority, the ultimate authority which is dishonest from the start. It's also a means to enforce justification, control and manipulation.
Both, for sure.
I think that understanding others and making fair evaluations takes a lot of work, no matter what point you start from.
I previously made fair evaluations, it took little work, just rational thought.
If christians hold or voice irrational beliefs it's on them to either resolve or live with the cognitive dissonance.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
