Can any case be made that not believing in a deity is a sign of mental instability?

Mormonism is a mental illness in my opinion.

Re: Was thinking that -- or that it induces mental problems

Yes, when i first started to seeing real specialists, they noticed all of my thoughts were religious and finally concluded with religious PTSD that showed signs of other mental illnesses as my real diagnosis not schizoeffective. As i stepped away from religion my improvements became more drastic so i concluded that mormonism itself is a mental illness or creates it with its crazy beliefs put into your head and abusive tactics.
