No, it does not. Do you understand what faith is?

I'm curious. What empirical evidence exists to show that God doesn't exist? In the absence of that, it is a matter of faith. Much like the faith that exists that socialistic tendencies will work for the betterment of all mankind without forcing compliance on some.
Clearly there is empirical evidence of some things but in all cases dealing with the "disproof" of God one must make assumptions and in those assumptions we come down to a question of faith, religious or otherwise.
Illness would indicate that there is something wrong with someone other than a choice. I don't think that those who believe in God are ill but the possibility exists that those who believe that a belief in God is an indication of illness as they are blind to their own faith.

No not necessarily, and I do understand empirical evidence, but I also believe you have to have a moral belief system and have yet to find another beyond the belief in a "God".
I mean if you don't believe in something, what is there, a vast nothingness.

Belief in something that can't be proved by scientific means does not constitute serious illness. Because if it did Gore would be in an asylum.

I guess moses was nuts, because G-D spoke to him all the time. This universe was created some way and it wasn't the big bang theory, nothing that explodes brings forth anything. I think your nuts for not believing. You have no future to look forward to just death and then nothing.

No, its called faith. Some people believe there is a God or a higher power. Even Albert Einstein believed in a higher power. I don't think its an illness. Fanaticism IS an illness though.

I suppose 75% of the globe is suffering from a mass delusion then? Atheists are totally in the minority. They are even outnumbered by agnostics.

There is a fine line between having spirituality in one's life and insanity. It is possible to take it too far. When you talk to God in prayer for example, that is sanity. When God speaks to you, that is insanity.

No! Why would it?! What harm does it do to anyone else if I want to believe in God?
