Religious beliefs do seem to have a relationship with mental illness. After all religion is a delusion itself. Religion doesn't cause mental illness instead it makes sane people do insane things. However if one has a mental illness, one's religious beliefs may flourish on that illness and those belief might make the illness worsen ie. Mental illness is a good breeding ground for the explosive display of religious beliefs. NB: I am talking about mental illness that involves delusion and Hallucination eg schizophrenia.

Often times,those who say they do not believe in religious or God find themselves always talking about religion or God.They get so hung up on it. That's a perfect expression of mental illness. |

Beliefs generally have nothing to do with religion. Beliefs are formed from values which we have about nature and things we come in contact with. Even non-religious people do have their own beliefs. It's a value system thing. When beliefs form part of attitude and character, it might be exhibited in ways that are unconventional with what people are already used to, and that has nothing to do with illness. 1 Like |

thorpido:I don't know how many times I will refute this argument. Are you people deaf or what? What don't believe in religious doctrine and gods. What we do is expose the falsehood of the ridiculous garbage called religion. It is in the best interest of humanity that we do it so that innocent people are not left vulnerable to mental slavery, exploitation and have their life wasted away in services to these things. Talking to an imaginary being and praising and the worshipping him is insane. Giving your hard earned money to the imaginary being and the reverence of a human being like you because you think he is anointed by that imaginary being is insane too. 5 Likes |

This is a great article. Evidence points to the fact that religion can and does in many cases result in mental illness to varying degrees, especially PENTECOSTALISM and extreme JIHADIC IDEOLOGY. 4 Likes |

There is an atheist doctor who believes that he can transplant human head. What a faith! Isn't that top grade madness? |

GoodMuyis:Einstein believed and calculated that the curvature of spacetime is the cause of gravity but people taught he was mad. Now Einstein's relativity is part of science. 1 Like |

Martinez19:Absolutely right. The correlation is stunning. And we need to remind ourselves that most , if not all the founders of world's major religions and sects are post-diagnosed as being [b ]schizotypal [/b]l personalities . |

thorpido:If you are surrounded by people who exhibit classic symptoms of insanity, there is no reason why you should stay quite and unconcerned, especially when their outbursts of insanity affects your daily life. |

plaetton:True but insanity is expressed in different ways. |

In other words anyone who sees something spiritual is hallucinating, anyone who doesn't see it, is mad for believing something he can't see. |
