Does the referring doctor know about the therapists "christian" practice activities and that you're an atheist?
If yes, you might need to find a different doctor also.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

If therapy includes believing in an imaginary friend I think a five year old would be better at the job.

No. I mean, it didn’t seem like that would be necessary. THIS SHIT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BASED ON SCIENCE ARRRRGH
this is the kind of shit that makes me cynical as fuck about mental health care in America
It now appears that it may be necessary.
