They weren't labeled schizophrenics. They were either labeled heretics or possessed by Satan and burned at the stake or tortured to death.

Do you have a source to show that that was the common practice in 2000 years of Christian history?

Why would he encourage disobedience against the government when he was just named to the Supreme Court?

Yeah, let me look through my ancient scrolls and sandscript tablets.

The Renaissance

The burning of the so-called heretics, often people with psychosis, began in the early Renaissance and reached its peak in the 14th and 15th centuries. First published in 1563, De praestigiis daemonum (The Deception of Demons) argued that the madness of heretics resulted not from supernatural forces but from natural causes. The Church promptly proscribed the book and accused its author, Johann Weyer, of being a sorcerer.

From the 15th century, scientific breakthroughs such as the heliocentric system of astronomer Galileo (1564-1642) began challenging the authority of the Church. Man, not God, became the focus of attention and study, and it is also around this time that anatomist Vesalius (1514-1564) published his landmark De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (The Seven Books on the Structure of the Human Body). The Fabrica represented the first serious challenge to Galenic anatomy and brought its author considerable fame and fortune. By the age of 28, Vesalius had become physician to the Holy Roman Emperor (neither Holy nor Roman, but in fact the Emperor of Germany), Charles the Quint.

Not sure why that second paragraph is relevant.

But this is good. So what we've learned from your link is that people accused of heresy, who may have been psychotic, began to be burned in the 1300s, which is about 1300 years after Christianity began and about 1000 years after it became a powerful religion, in other words, not a very common practice in the grand arc of its history

You also have not established just how common this practice was, how often those burned were actually psychotic and not merely heretics, nor how long it lasted, even less whether the blame should be mitigated given the lack of knowledge about mental illness at the time.

Welcome back, Mr Dawkins.

Not sure why you think I'm Dawkins.

He hates Christianity.
