If in so much as what shall be known of the several ways, and the being of wanting to be is now, therefore the only thing that shall be heard in the light of the dawning is the plaintiff cry of the tormented souls of yesteryear.

Belief in God is one of the greatest gifts one can have. Some become very unfortunate to the extent of dying without even knowing of the exixstence of God. Because of spiritual short-sight it might appear as mental illness but it is actually a treasure for those who beleive. Please read 2 Corinthians 4 verses 16 to 18 and 1 John 3 verse 2 from The Bible.

No they only treat you for mental illness if you think that you are God or Jesus or Muhammad. My mother worked at a mental hospital for 33 years as a psychologist and she has seen Jesus and Muhammad get into a fight many a time. She even came home from work one day and said she saw Buddha and God fight.

Not really. I don't have a religion or much faith. Religion only becomes a problem when it makes people unable to accept change and let others get on with their life.
Too often we have to listen to the various religions expecting special treatment under the law. All peoples beliefs should be open to criticism.
It becomes difficult, when what people ARE, eg gay, is seen as a belief or a choice. To me, these are not open to criticism in the same way as religion, becuase nobody is born Christian, but it seems people are born gay.

No, we should treat worshipping Satan and his legion as a mental illness. God stands for all that is good in this world. Satan and his demons are responsible for all that is evil and corrupt, and would put those kinds of thoughts in a persons head....Anyone who worships God Almighty and His Son, will have a chance at eternal life, and believe me, all those who put Him down now and worship Satan will pay some day.

Never, because the mentality part of it comes when one has
sin they are debating in their lives conflicting with the laws of God and it can result in mental dyfunction. So its what one thinks not their belief in God, cause our Father is the only one that keep you
from going insane. The bible says as a man thinketh so is he. So enough get your beliefs in order.

Why?
Should we treat disbelief in god as a mental illness?
If your answer is no for this one then it is no for the original question also.

no! If you thing that it's a mental illness, then i'm guessing you don't believe in God. Also, it's easy to tell because those who believe in Him/Her(though most people say it's a Him) spell it with a capital.
And i don't know who "WE" is because more than half the people in the world believe in God.

Most of the people borrow their belief (whether belief of God or something else) from their parents, their society, the books and etc.
