A religious delusion is defined as a delusion, or fixed belief not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence, involving religious themes or subject matter.[1][2] Religious faith, meanwhile, is defined as a belief in a religious doctrine or higher power in the absence of evidence.[3][4] Psychologists, scientists, and philosophers have debated the distinction between the two, which is subjective and cultural.[1][5]
