I do consider a lot of religious people delusional. But then too it is a very important distinction we need to keep in mind:
Do they let their beliefs - delusional or not - control their actions?
The problem is not having beliefs that are not backed by facts, but when you let those beliefs control you to the point of making you act in ways that are actively detrimental to your own well-being.
