How come so many people believ what they can't see or have never seen or sensed?
When did the body snatchers come to infect the world?

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!
Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!
Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?
My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:
Do you know how to play safe?
Your point:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...
Believer's point:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...
Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

In a way it's WORSE than schizophrenia, because it's communicable. Like a virus, it transfers from infected to non-infected via various pathways including early programming by parents, indoctrination by churches and schools, etc. Note, that unlike most mental disease it is NOT hereditary at ALL. NO ONE is born fundamentalist or even religious. We are born with a brain, and without interference we learn to observe and react thru observation and understand based on our interraction with the physical world. It requires an outside force, a virus-carrier if you will, to transfer the religious virus to our otherwise open, receptive minds. Also, it spreads directly proportional to the number of carriers in a geometric progression. Some lucky infected can cure themselves if their will-power and ability to reason is strong enough, but those are fewer than the ones who start out with clear minds and are infected with the faith-virus.

Unless your god believers come to you saying, "God told me to do such and such," I don't think schizophrenia is at work here. Delusion, maybe but not a full blown case of schizophrenia!
Hey! Ya think George W. Bush has schizophrenia! He did say God wanted him to be president.

Never sensed? Speak for yourself. Many, many people sense God. There is a old theological term for it. Sensus Divinitatus (Latin).

Not accepting spiritual reality causes one to suffer at the
hands of these forces, resulting in bi-polarity.

Nope. Spirituality is part of the norm for our species, and thus we don't define it as an illness.

It's imaginary friend syndrome in adults.

It's akin to delusion.
Those that speak in tongues are schizo.

I think of it as brainwashing.
