Look how screwed up Islam has screwed up the poor Muslim people?
Catholicism is filled with superstition and half truths. Very few people KNOW whether they're saved or not.
Protestants in the Denominational church think going 'to church' is good enough!
People in the Charasmatic/Evangelical movement...'All Praise & Worship' is not going to cut it either if there is no repentence of sin in their lives!
You catch my drift.

I do catch your drift but, this is a hard word for me, CMW.
I've been thinking about it, praying over it.
I'd agree that religion frequently resembles mental illness in its manifestations but I think might be too much to say that religion *is* "mental illness".
Moreover, I don't think it really goes quite far enough in a more important sense.
Religion is a sickness of the
entire soul, of the
heart, and not just the mind.
In fact, most religion seems to have precious little to do with the mind at all....
