I would say most havn't thought about their religion, having other things to focus on, like work, family, other parts of life.

I would say not so much crazy as terrified. And in many cases, justifiably so. The prospect of hell or oblivion is a deferred fate. But in most sects, even entertaining other prospects-heresies- threatens the loss of this life's securities. The loss of love, livelihood, even life can be the price of wrong thinking. In most cases it's just safer to never consider the basis of one's beliefs.

As much as I hate religion, it isn't the peoples' fault. It is indoctrination. That is literally the source of ALL of this.
Think back to when you were a kid; we all (more than likely) believed, if only halfheartedly, at some point.
Well, when you teach a child that the universe works with these backwards methods, that completely ruins their capacity to understand science and logic sometimes because from their earliest memories of learning about things, they were never taught anything that makes sense.
Couple that with how many fundamentalists demonize non-believers and you have a system to causes the indoctrinated to see themselves as superior and triumphing over the evil of the disbelievers.
Its a shame really. I wager that if every child were raised without ANY religion, taught biology, chemistry and physics, then at the age of 18 each child was taken to a complex where they met with various clergymen who presented their stories and said, "Now you may choose any one makes sense to you," then every one of those grown kids would laugh right in the clergy's face.

No, I think people evolved to be susceptible about believing in supernatural things. Maybe the skeptics were thrown out of the tribes. Also, people who believe in the Abrahamic God are afraid that if they seriously consider that he might not exist that they will be punished.

I used to be religious...And yes..I was bat shit fu^%ing crazy. I went as far down that path as I could, and my logical, sensible side conflicted with my upbringing...Til one side won out. I wasnt good at making concrete decisions back then, and my morals were always shaky. To beleive in a being that judges us based on values we havent even been told about...Makes people nervous. They walk around wondering if theyre doing whats right...Wondering if theyre upsetting God. It puts them on edge.

I think that some of the people responsible for starting religions may have had some mild form or schizophrenia or manic depression. For example Muhammad seems to have been having some hallucinations and delusional thinking when he was claimed to be talking to an angle. And Joseph Smith started the Mormon religion based on some similar claims about talking or transcribing things from angles. That too could have been delusions and hallucinations.
It should be pointed out that many religious people think or claim atheists are crazy. And conservatives and liberals post similar comments about each other. Each claiming to be smarter, and to have better ethical or moral standards than the people they disagree with.

I would say religious people are delusional,
as for crazy...some are, others aren't....really depends on the individual 
Religion and our concept of god (or gods, mankind has invented 2800 of them so far) is purely imaginary... it is all in our minds, made up superstitions and myths.....
People who believe in imaginary beings are delusional
People who talk to imaginary beings are delusional
People who believe in imaginary superstitions like prayer are delusional
Delusion--a fixed false belief that is resistant to reason or confrontation with actual fact.
Religion should be classified as a Psychosis....
an entire imaginary, delusional belief system
We can call it Religious Belief Syndrome… an acronym could be… Religious B S

I think that since our mind is basically an apex predator, the apex wants to be the most powerful thing in it's environment so it creates this fantasy that when it dies it keeps on living on staying the apex predator...so yeah people are crazy.

not at all...well some are 
I believe Religion has its place in the world and has its benefits. There is a reason why religion is around today. Some believe religion was a product of evolution.

Reasoning was born in religious views and is socialized. Socialization does not mean that intended behaviours are accomplished. It is an adaptive process in which people can occupy social niches away from general intend. 
That is how people learn to attach emotions to their belief system. Logic thinker too must develop emotional bond to logic in order to believe in it, often requiring reinforcement by their selected peers. Religious cases usually receive reinforcement from their local community.
In other words, the difference between religious and atheist causes for worldviews is small and depend on socialized reinforcement of emotional connections to personal ways of thinking. 
Individual choices still play a big role, even without free will.

No they are not crazy. The mind is very powerful. When I believed in santa, I heard reminders over head. People are crazy. I think some sort of placebo effect is occurring jn the minds of religious people. The placebo effect has shown that people with Parkinson's who take a placebo can have their symptoms go away.. one of the ten great mysteries of science.

I believe that the vast majority of people are not crazy just because they are religious. The actions of a small few obviously make the whole look crazy. I believe that people who are religious are that way due to generations upon generations of the culture. It is not always about the religion alone, because the culture is even often observed by atheists. I must admit, I would give someone a gift on Christmas, because it makes me feel good making others happy and I have even sat in a church to listen to a midnight mass. Let us also take the level of respect that many people have for their parents. That respect is generational and it often carries the viewpoint of religion. The trends are leaning towards science in the long term future, but it is going to take time to erase thousands of years of beliefs when science has only really used evolution to explain our existence for a relatively short period of our history. Fact is, most people are caught up in the moment of their day. It is those few zealots that appear on Fox noise and listen to Bill O'Reilly. Reasonable thinking always comes forward in the end. After all, we DO believe the world is round. Geez, go figure. Be patient my fellow atheists.
