Someone just suggested that we can't say religions are right or wrong because people have different spiritual needs. That's very revealing.
How does this relate to what I have just said? Is this person delusional or not?

Have you read 'Everybody is Wrong About God?' Indepth look at the psychology of religion & what people mean by 'God.'
-
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.
-
Well, yes.

Inventing a god is fine. Positing the god then lives outside of the mind is delusional.
