Frankly all religion is ultimately bad just like guns are ultimately bad. Sure most people may use either one responsibly but you only need one insane "prophet" to go on a mass shooting spree. Religion gives them the tools to push themselves over the edge. And the insane will always gather some type of following. See Jonestown for example.
And a loooooot of mental illness hides behind "the sacred". Oh you cant touch that it's sacred. Oh you cant call that a mental illness it's sacred. No a mental illness is anything that stems from the brain and causes a loss in the quality of life to the individual and the the world around them.
If you are a terrorist, that's a mental illness. If you preach hate and violence, that is a mental illness. If religion turns you into just as bad or even worse person that is a mental illness. But extremism is not even recognized as a sickness. It gets to hide behind a special status called religion or faith or what have you.
