isn't God just a delusion?

Yes. That's the whole point behind faith. And why there is no proof of God. And, therefore, why God does not exist. He is in the mind of the "believer".

No, it is not at all true. If one is open minded enough to follow the discoveries of people that such missionary organizations as Wycliffe Bible Translators have found, one would find that there are very primitive people who realize that the world around them was created, and have worshiped "the creator". They wanted to know more about Him, and are now Christians.
The book, "Evidence That Demands a Verdict" was written by the someone who sought to prove the Bible as a lie, and found that it is not. Perhaps if you were just a little less sure of your limited knowledge that you are sure that what you believe is true, you might be found intelligent enough to discover that your conclusions are in error.

Yes. God is an idea that was turned into a sentient being so that it could be reality.
Omnipotence: strong foundation, able to do anything, full authority
Omniscience: knows all, knows you better than you know yourself, full authority (again)
Benevolence: can do no wrong, always acts in your best interest
Once people start to believe in something that incorporates these aspects, it is difficult to talk them out of it.
How unfortunate.

God is in the heart and mind of believers, however that is only someone that is a believer would understand.

No, Jesus is in the heart of a believer. Jesus is God. He is the way the Truth and the light.
many hope he is a delusion, for to be wrong has great implications.

God is real and here whether you believe or not but once you accept him then the Holy Spirit lives in you

Very true; all around us all, but only living in the mind of believers

When you want something really bad and you pray for it, God is the entity that consistently ignores you.

Yes, and the heart, and the soul. He is not an illusion.
