Delusion and religion

Any "belief" is a form of delusion. Scientists and similar un-deluded (at least about science) folk don't entertain belief but only opinions based on the best possible evidence, which can change on a dime if new evidence calls for it.

Almost everything we take as religion is really indoctrinated belief, and hence delusion. I would say all religion is that, except I leave it open that there might be some un-deluded religion out there I don't know about.
