It's not clear at what level of contradiction with reality does healthy religious belief end and lunacy start. Can I say I believe that I can fly and expect noone to call me insane for it? Where is the boundary?
No, it's not even about you, you know? I don't know you. But I'm honestly terrified to live in a world where a large percentage of the population loses completely the grip of evidence and evidence based decision making, because that's very dangerous for us all.
Someone who believes that the earth formed before all else just because it's written in an old book will believe all kinds of different things which are more severe, just because they are written or told by an authority figure. That's a recipe for doom.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
