Overtime have your religious delusions passed? Did you need to do any sort of therapy for better insight? Ways to have better reasoning on the subject? Etc

I became more religious, even as my medication and supplement regimen took effect. It brings me bliss and comfort.
But if you’re wondering about religious delusions, like thinking you’re an angel or demon or whatever, yeah, that passes with good medication.
I have lingering religious delusions. There are some strong arguments for there being the hand of a creator behind the existence of the universe.
Mine are lingering too. I think my religious beliefs aren’t helping. Thanks for posting the question, I feel like I need help with this.

My religious delusions are almost completely gone, still sometimes there’s something lingering in the back, but it’s becoming more rare by the day.
I consumed a lot of science articles, questioned my thoughts a lot. My therapist helped me discern what was a spiritual need from a spiritual delusion.
Seeing how religion badly influences people with mental illness also helped, to be honest.

I used to work and lecture for a kind of new agey center so a lot of my beliefs would have given your delusions a run for their money. I still don’t know what the voices could be. Astral beings is what my peers who I’ve told believe my psychosis to be. A big part of why I’m not spiritual anymore is because those beliefs don’t serve me anymore. I wish they did, I miss my faith.
I think it’s very interesting that you turned your back on those beliefs. Did it happen before or after you were medicated?´
Maybe you miss what that faith made you feel about yourself, instead of the faith and the beliefs themselves.
It happened after I was medicated. Youre right, I felt before like I was evolving spiritually. Ironically, the most real experience I’ve ever had was my psychosis, and it’s the last thing I would wish upon anyone.

It’s hard to let go of the feeling that reality and truth is based on experience, we’re the exception to that premisse
