Do some atheists still thin Religion is a mental illness?

[Kal Alvar]

The hyper religious, I can understand why people say that is comparable to mental illness. They reject evidence to the contrary without even consideration to the otehr arguement, they often act upon the capcity to spread hate and evil in the world without care for the other people's thoughts or feelings. In a more general sense, they believe things that simply have been proven to not be true. They seem crazy and insane to them.

Be clear that they are not refering to all religious people, but the hyper religious or extremists.
