Do some atheists still thin Religion is a mental illness?

[Ricardo]

“We must recognize religion as brainwashing. We must recognize the (hyper) religious as mentally damaged.”

- You begin forcing religion onto children - brain washing - and "hyper" anything is mentally damaged.

It seems clear to me that religion isn’t a form of mental illness

- But then no psychotic EVER thinks they are psychotic.

and that calling it one reflects a shallow understanding of both mental illness and religion

- No, its pretty accurate.

worse still, a knowing attempt to use mental illness as an insult.

- Facts can't be insulting, only what you infer from them.

Save The Planet - you do not seem intelligent enough to be on here

- We keep saying that about you.

DogofMan - is it possible you may have been programmed to think that way

- And you haven't, again the psychotic does not know he is psychotic.

Sans Deity - you appear to be delusional - you seem to be hallucunating

- Haven't looked into a mirror lately have you.

Sirensong sunshine - your beliefs seem ridiculous - you seem to have programmed

- SO DO YOURS.

Kal Alvar - censorship and sketicism is much more common with atheists/materialists.

- Right, that is why there was a censorship board for TV and movies, CHRISTIANS did that.
