Yes, it absolutely should! Anyone who says they hear the voice of god should be immediately committed and tested for Schizophrenia.

No, a mental defect is an alement that affects the proper working of the brain, or proper function of the brain. A fundamentaistic theism may come from a mental defect but it shouldn't be considered a mental defect.

Nah,
We all have beliefs that may not be accepted by others. The fact that we believe we should embalm our dead, could be considered crazy by other societies.
Fundamentalists are just holding on, and hate change. Its a big bad scarry world out there, and fundamentalism is very comfortable. It allows you to say without worry, "thats God's Problem"
Fundamentalists don't have to worry about figuring out string theory or finding cures for disease. They don't have to worry about what Quantum Mechanics might mean to the human race. Its just "God said it, I believe it, Case Closed."
It actually solves a lot of stress, I guess. But putting ones head under the blanket doesn't really make the monsters go away does it.

No, but I still believe that there is something wrong with them. Religion in any way/shape/form is just a defense mechanism for weak minded people.

Yes, according to Sam Harris the moderates help the fundies be legitimate. So if we diagnosed them with the disorder they would all have it.

The atheists liked this question very much and you will get many yes answers but you know inside your heart that there is something that is running this world and that thing is not human
