I think religions are wrong, but I don't believe religious people (the majority of them) are mentally ill. To argue that religion is a mental illness brings two primary problems - (1) It is massively dehumanizing (2) more important, it requires scientific research and evidence - Coming to an internet forum and posting about it isn't going to change anything. Having a mental illness can have a tremendous impact on people's lives and calling someone mentally ill for being religious is dismissive of people who actually suffer from psychological/mental disorders
Religious people have it wrong in one belief, that's it - There's no purpose in being super happy just because you got one thing right. Human beings are capable of committing violence and atrocities regardless of what they believe in - No one is safe or holds high moral ground.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
