If you are going to classify someone who believes that their soul is not human as having a mental illness then they had better be ready to say that the belief in a soul is a mental illness which would make religion - all religions a form of mass psychosis and everybody who is religious mentally ill and in need of treatment.
Of course that would be an evil communist statement that no conservitive would ever make. After all everyone knows that its those horrible liberals who are the evil communists.
