Idiosyncratic belief systems which are shared by only a few adherents are likely to be regarded as delusional. Belief systems which may be just as irrational but which are shared by millions are called world religions. i.e. When a man suffers from delusions he is described as mad but when a million do so they belong to a world religion.  -   Anthony Storr     Quotes
