Most of the time the comment is more along the lines of "Those that believe in things religious are delusional". So if I were the one making that statement and were challenged, my answers would be along these lines:

1. Delusional is believing in something for which there is not evidence, therefore anyone who believes in god, etc is delusional.

2. We will use the definition easily. If there is no evidence for something, then the person that believes in that thing is deluded.

3. There is evidence that slavery is bad, money has value, POTUS has authority, etc. There are some things for which there may not be evidence, like certain historical events. Those that hold tight to a belief in those things are delusional.

How would you respond to that.

4. I agree that when challenged, most everyone who makes this point resorts to insults, straw men and some rallying of the troops activity to support their indefensible position.

Thanks.
