I really feel like that's a misrepresentation, though admittedly I don't have the data to back it up. To say any theist believes any other theist from another denomination is delusional just seems absurdly reductive.

And maybe it didn't come across in my other comment, but to think of faith as some ontological disagreement on which particular version of gods do or don't exist I think misses the point entirely. Seems rather more like an epistemic disagreement on what we believe this transcendent power to be, which theists are in agreement on regarding its existence. Most theists don't believe their religious texts to be literal anyways, it's different stories about the same transcendent power, being religious doesn't mean lacking any and all nuance or historical understanding. That hasn't been my experience with religious people at least :)
