I don't think mental illness is a negative thing and I have no bias against people with mental illness (I have bipolar). It is what it is. Some people are born with mental illness just like you are born into a religious family. Believing in a God/Heaven/Hell/Angels/Demons/Witches is a delusion. Having delusions is a symptom of mental illness. I don't think that religion is literally a mental illness that needs treatment. They just need some atheist cognitive behavioral therapy to heal their brainwashing from growing up in a religious family/school.
