Just because an idea is different from your own does not mean those who support that idea are delusional. Reflect rather on your own delusions than that of others, so that you might become better as a person.
It's not just that the idea is different, it's that the idea is wholly unsupported by tangible evidence.
Religious beliefs tend to be the kind of position that if held be a single person land that person in the looney bin. Held by a hundred people the same position is considered a crazy cult. Held by thousands and it's a religion and many argue it should be respected. But you see, it's still the same untenable view, no matter how many people believe it.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
