Subject: RE: BS: It's not delusional if it's religious?
The definition of the term "delusion", from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual - Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), of the American Psychiatric Association, specifically excludes religious beliefs. So, yes, according to the APA, "it's not delusional if it's religious".

I strongly doubt that ANY religion requires starving a child to death. Sounds more like a convenient excuse to me.
