Someone just suggested that we can't say religions are right or wrong because people have different spiritual needs. That's very revealing.

"not fully in a delusion" implies there are stages to delusion. Just one wrong belief firmly held is enough to be delusional.

How does this relate to what I have just said? Is this person delusional or not?

They're referring to normal social & psychological needs. Sometimes they come very close to acknowledging this.

There are a great many non-believers who are religious congregants. Comments like the one you mentioned signal their humanism.

But I wonder whether this is a respectable position, considering they are propping up the original, (pre-) post-truth discourse.

I don't have much respect for it.

A problem is that they lead children and the credulous astray. They also undermine the social force of knowledge and reason.
