Believing in Deities is a Form of Psychosis
RE: Believing in Deities is a Form of Psychosis
There are a lot of religious people in the military. It's actually a very Christian community here, at least within the officers' ranks... I don't know if enlisted is any different. Most are some form of protestant, but there are Mormons and Catholics as well. These men and women are not psychotic or mentally ill. You actually have to be very mentally fit to be in the military, especially for the more prestigious positions.

Anyway, what I'm getting at is to answer your question, no, being religious is not a form of mental illness in any way. Medically or otherwise.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
