Religion, A Curable Illness
#3
RE: Leading neuroscientist: Fundamentalism may be a ‘mental illness’ that can be ‘cured’
?!?!

Bullshit.

Reagan called communism a mental illness, and countless people certainly also declared various movements to be mental illnesses.
It is simply a radicalisation of an individual or a group with potentialy harmfull consequences for the rest of society.
But simply calling it an illness would first off infringe the rights of such individuals or groups and also lift the burden of taking responsiblity for their actions from ther shoulders.
