You need to state a credible source for such inflammatory statements.

If you have a difficult time with making correct choices, or staying in touch with reality, or are filled with self-loathing, religion can be a way to find a lot of comfort. It also provides a structure within which you can try to live your life. It provides forgiveness and offers a relationship with someone who is all powerful. I've known many people who went through very difficult times in their lives and turned to religion to help them with despair. When they turned their lives around, often the religion was able to take a more minor role in their lives. If you lived with schizofrenia, or extreme bi-polar syndrome, I can see how religion would be a place to turn to.

An insane person who is introduced to religion will still be insane, they will just be an insane religious person. Extreme people will take religion to extremes. You haven't changed their nature, you've just pointed it in another direction.

Because the majority of people are Christians.

I can tell from your question that you've obviously spent a lot of time in such institutions.
Are you jealous of the other patients who have found God, while all you've found is a tight little knot of anger inside?

You'll find insane people among Christians and atheists. Your statement doesn't mean anything at all, not even if you could prove what you're saying.

It depends on the country u live in, u live in a christian country then u get christian nutters. You live in a hindu country u get hindu nutters, buddits country - buddist nutters, etc.....
Its just something they have to blame, so they dont have to take the blame themselves. Or in some cases its something to help them through what they are going through.

They have seen the Devil in person. I'm telling you! Christianity introduces you to satan and his demons. The Church of Satan is a kinder organization!

They were probably that way BEFORE they were committed to the institution.

Obviously, Christianity eats at a brain like a tumor.
