It is ALWAYS treated as 'special', as are those who claim they are 'acting in accordance with their Religious Beliefs'. If it wasn't, people like him who make such 'guided pronouncements - guided by some "Supreme Being" - not accountable to humanity for their actions!' would be called a nutter just like those who claim they are Jesus or Napoleon and locked up for safety reasons, ours AND his.

Huh? No religious nutters have ever gone to jail? No religious compounds have ever been burned down by the feds? Dude, religious nutters are held accountable for their actions. Shoot, Jesus was killed for his actions. What more do you want?
