Well no. It's really more accurate to say that Delusion is for beliefs that cause you to act in a way that other people think is crazy. If you believe that extraterrestrials are infiltrating our society to take over and quietly gather information that might support such a theory but only talk about it to people with similar beliefs until you have compelling evidence (and you can actually tell the difference between "compelling" and "indicative to someone who is already a believer") then you have at most a quirk. If you rant, expect others to take specious evidence seriously, commit crimes with little justification, or spend enormous sums on unworkable ideas to expose the extraterrestrial menace, then that's a Delusion.
