That's not what I meant. I meant these kinds of people tend towards religious beliefs.
Atheism is also a belief. Schizophrenic people say something what's often very complex. We are able to use their own structures in communications to help them not to go lost out of reality. The key is to try to understand - not to know better.
A lot of times they have persecution complexes, think that "gods" are speaking to them, etc. Religion is a magnet for those with mental disorders.
Schizophrenic people are often reporting about voices. Once I thought this voices are like thoughts - but this is wrong. This are "real" voices. Loud voices. They say for example: "Jump out of the window! Now!" - but as real as such a voice seems to be - we have to help them not to believe in such voices. And it's extremly stupid to discuss with a paranoic person about the belief in god or about the belief in atheism. In this case they need our love - they need our belief in god - our trust in god. They need us just simple in the way we are. And it's good to see that everything will end in a very positive way - if everyone is doing everything in the best possible ways. We have to be ourselves and not to be untrue, unreal or desperated or anything like this. It's good to be calm and clear. But I fear "atheism" is not clear in most cases, because atheists often believe they do not believe. Could be no belief is so confusing like atheism (=aspiritualism) while only atheists think they are not confusing.
