Religion, A Curable Illness
#11
RE: Leading neuroscientist: Fundamentalism may be a ‘mental illness’ that can be ‘cured’
I'm extremely wary of anything being called a 'mental illness' purely for the reason that it may be involuntary. We make involuntary decisions all the time for various reasons, and nitpicking on one of them is dangerously close to a political stance.
