Atheists, would you support a campaign to encourage the APA to officially declare

[CitizenoftheCosmos]

religion and/or theism...? a mental illness?

*APA= American Psychological Association, publishers of the official manual for diagnosing mental illness.

 

[ShadowXX60]

hahaha

 

[mackey]

Many psychiatrists already do consider it a mental illness.

 

[GoodEntity]

It depends. If people are religious but understand that it's mythology and only use the bible as a moral guide then I see no problem. If people actually believe in the stories and think that there is such thing as ghosts, spirits, angels and god then I would support the APA.

I thought they already did that?
