Re: Faith vs. Delusion vs. Imagination
From what I can see:
It is faith when the person's beliefs agree with the other person's
It is delusion when the person's beliefs disagree with thew other person's
ie John believes in Jahweh David believes in Jahweh David says that John belief is faith.
but John believes in Zeus, David believes in Jahweh David says John's belief is delusion and John would say David's belief is delusion.

Also, God is only an "absurdity" to one particular group of people, called "atheists".
But your god (Abrahamic) is only recognized by Christans, Jews & Muslems. People of other Religious groups don't accept your god any more than we Atheists do.

as you can look at all of those billions of creative facts in creation
There are no facts in creation. What you call facts, are beliefs. That is the delusion. Belief in something that has no physical evidence.
