Religion is a contentious subject around here Betsy, but sometimes when I see some of the sorts of people involved in practising religions I wonder. There would seem to be a type, particularly on the female side, they have pale earnest face, and often wear glasses and no, or little makeup, and while they are obviously loving Mothers and devoted spouses, they don't seem to have an abundance of social skills. Many of them should inherit the earth, on the basis of meekness anyway, and for them I think religion is a sort of moral crutch. I don't think that religion per se is a form of mental illness, although it may be that many practitioners are not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
All in all though they are a good advert for christianity in its wider sense.
I shall now sit back and await the flak.
