Is there a medical term for people who constantly criticize religion?

Delusion? We might need to keep them in hospitals in the future and treat their problems.

General psychosis, if too extreme, and not based on a balanced life.

I'm all for people believing what they want to believe but please don't say just because you become a christian you've been "saved". You were fine before. I'm sick of hearing that from christian people. Just because I'm not christian does not mean I need saving!!

in reference to that other girl talking about your friends being saved.

Also I don't think there's anything you can do, if it's helping them be better people just let them believe however they like.

There is such a thing as Jerusalem Syndrome.

Assuming I'm reading this question right, do you mean like the mother in the Stephen King classic "Carrie"? It could be a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. If it wasn't religion, they'd go overboard obsessing about something else. Short of committing them to the mental ward of a hospital there's not much you can do. Like many other problems, they have to realize they even have a problem before they can even start to deal with it.

its not a medical problem, when you have God you can appear to change a lot to your family and friends. it is natural.

Yes its called enlightenment.

 

[ZimiaFly]

The religious call it being saved, finding enlightenment, or finding God. If you do not believe in a greater being, you will never understand. Sanity? What exactly has this person been doing? preaching in the streets?

Yes. Westboro Baptist Church.
