Most people who get sucked into religion are usually raised from early childhood, or have hit some low point in their life, or are otherwise vulnerable. It's not necessarily a mental illness or anything, especially if they're following the more pleasant teachings like love your neighbor and give to the poor and stuff. The high extremists tat are basically the kind of people Yahweh really seemed to want probably do have something wrong with them.
