It isn't, at least not with respect to diagnosis as a disorder. Being super religious in a religious community won't qualify someone. As MA pointed out, typical beliefs...whatever those beliefs happen to be, evade the categorization. It takes atypical beliefs to get a person into the running. Doesn't matter much if the typical and atypical beliefs are equally loony or if they produce nearly identical consequences.
The atypicality of the one set is what causes difficulty in their lives, particularly with respect to interaction and relationships with the typical set. That a person isn't disordered doesn't mean that they aren't balls to the wall crazy, it just means that they're balls to the wall crazy in the usual way, lol. In an important sense, being disordered can be contextualized as the effect of external societal pressure and expectation.
