WTF is the difference? She thought her dead child would come back to life because they prayed over the body. If that's not delusional, I don't know what is, regardless of whether or not others with her thought the same thing. You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me and not you.

This is the sentence which sums it up for me: Although an inability to think critically can be a sign of brainwashing, experts said, the line between that and some religious beliefs can be difficult to discern.

Merely difficult? I'd say the line is non-existent! Quantum Junction: Use both lanes
