I tend to draw a distinction between mental illness and indoctrinated false beliefs, though I suppose phantasms and delusions could certainly take classic religious forms amongst those who struggle with certain mental disorders.
I'd agree with you there. Religious believe is taught belief. Phantasms are the product of brain malfunctions. How it manifests that malfunction is cultural.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
