That's because it isn't logical, as follows:
Given - Belief in the Divine is delusional.
Historically the overwhelming majority of humans have believed in the Divine.
Thus, historically, the overwhelming number of humans have been delusional.
A propensity to delusion is a reproductive disadvantage.
Reproductive disadvantages get bred out of a population.
Therefore, the propensity to believe in the Divine should have been bred out of humanity.
The tendency to believe in the Divine has not been bred out of humanity.
Therefore belief in the Divine is not delusional.
