    I asked someone who said they are a psychiatrist in another thread last week why belief* in any religion outside mainstream religions are classified as magical thinking while belief* in mainstream religions is not. I don’t really care what beliefs people entertain as long as they’re not mentally or physically harming* anyone, I just really want to know how DSM psychiatrists reconcile that.

    *Autocorrect

      If the organization has enough capital to hinder the APA, it is a religion. If they don’t, it is magical thinking and delusion.

        So the ToS* flavor of satanism stands a chance ay becoming non-delusional.

      The difference is entirely political, not scientific.
