It is a well know "fact" (I use that term by scientific concensus) that everyone has dead spots in their vision. It is also a well known "fact" that the brain fills in those dead spaces so that you don't see the effect.
So, in a black and white world where things are either true or not, all of your visions would be considered hallucinations as the mental image you perceive is not 100% accurate.
.
So if we can fill in the gap over non deity stuff buy guessing with false perceptions, why wouldn't that flaw also extend to claims of invisible friends?
The same reason you fool yourself in thinking a god is possible is just as mental a mistake if you go to a Holloween party and really want to believe that coverd bowl of olives in that dark room are really eyeballs. If you want to believe bullshit bad enough you will.
