I just want to say that drugs are unlikely to help a typical theist. It's a memetic disease, not so much a chemical imbalance. The most effective treatment we've used is memetic vaccination, i.e. teaching them reason. It works significantly better than placebo (sitting them in front of a television).
Q: "Isn't it a miracle that the universe/life/consciousness/myself exists?"
A: "No."

For any person P, question Q, and concept X
If the asking of Q depends on the existence of X, and P asks Q
Then X exists, and P should not be surprised of that
