Psychosis - another reason to be anti-theist

I can imagine psychotic people joining a church because of attributing strange mind events to the voice of god.
Yep. I suspect it might be a feedback loop. The hallucinations make the person confused and afraid. The confusion makes the person look for explanations - even bizarre explanations. That creates delusional thoughts and paranoia. The paranoia makes it hard to sleep and increases the hallucinations. Then religion is like putting gas on the fire.

That's why it will be good when most people are atheists IMO. (Of course there are lots of other reasons too like the hatred of gays and lesbians, the restrictions of free speech and education, the beheadings, etc.)
