Sorry, but I think there is sufficient evidence that high religiosity is a thought disorder. There are delusions, such as beliefs in talking serpents and boats with two of every animal, that are accepted even when presented with evidence to the contrary. There are hallucinations, which the highly religous call "prayer" and they even often claim that they hear auditory responses from an invisible source. There is a level of harm to self or others that the highly religious possess as is evidenced by the fact that they may fly planes into buildings or starve themselves for their irrational beliefs. There is a disorder of thoughts as is evidenced by the circular logic that is often employed to defend their belief systems. I could go on and on.
Hehehehe! I rest my case.
Have a good night.
