Why bring religion into it? Because it is the prime and first evidence of mass delusion in the human psyche that has been manifesting for 2000 odd years. I think it might be a genetic problem in all humans.
Some religions have to some degree managed to contain this weak human psyche within the confines of 'acceptable behaviour'.
But now as more are abandoning doctrine this state of mental illness is still spilling out in other ways like gender crisis, mass shootings, fervent political ideologies like marxism, etc..
It is one thing to me mentally ill if you do no harm to others, but given the state of humanity, weapons need to be removed from the general population. Of course when the whole world is mentally unstable, it is just a matter of when, not if there is another world war with a billion plus killed.
