I've never believed I was god, but I've had intense spiritual experiences while I've been manic, like thinking I could control the universe and save the world.

Somewhat. When manic I often believe that I am an angel sent back to earth to help dying people cross over to the other side. Not scary like a grim reaper.
Just a helper so that they are not alone

Yup. I was communicating with God and angels. I was doing odd things like fasting for God. I also at one point thought I was going to give birth to the new Christ.

Yo that's crazy I wonder why this happens?!?! I thought I was Jesus my first manic episode then my second I thought I was a avatar holding God inside of me aka I was the new God reincarnated and I could control the elements and have any woman I wanted. I'm still ashamed of that smh glad I'm not the only one tho lol.

I'm a Christian so I DO have spiritual experiences that are personal to me BUT when I'm manic/psychotic I start to think satan is attacking me and i have demons inside me.

When I was 15 I came out of a very bad depression into being manic thinking I could save the world by bringing everyone to Jesus. My mission was to convert as many people as possible and I was always passing out flyers and brochures with the plan of salvation on them. Everyone just thought I was the Jesus freak girl but little did they know I had bigger plans and ideas. I was fine for a little after this episode but then depression came back and then the manic episode after this one I became very anti religion and tried putting everyone off of God. I believed that churches were bad and they were out to get me so I had to make everyone against them.

No spiritual experiences for me but I kinda quit believing in god since my husband died. I was on the fence before it happened but when he died I was just like **** this. No god would do this to me. That's just my experience though.

I tend to have religious delusions during mania as well. I don't believe I'm God or the Virgin Mary, but I do think I'm on some mission from God and tell everybody that He sent me to be in the right place at the right time to help them. I've gotten some pretty strange looks from people which puzzled me until I came down, and then I was embarrassed. But it happens every time I get manic.

Hope phrasing it this way doesn't offend any of the Christian participants here...
Mine are completely incongruent with the Western concept of God that I was raised with and practiced for some time. I didn't share these with any doctor yet, but it wasn't really a fib, as they asked about God, etc; and no such motif exists within my delusion. Stable me hasn't decided whether I believe God exists or not, or if he does, whether I think he is just and honorable or not. I am ambivalent for now.

I didn't think of myself as a god per se, just an immortal being of purpose.
 In this delusion, the immortality is because I can cure disease and stop aging in my body (and only my body, which is why I am not sure this is god like) using my mind. I don't dare tell anyone because they would not believe me and I could end up in a mental hospital for all eternity and I am going to be needed for something important (not clear what). When I become a reasonable person again, I have a hard time with realizing I really thought that because that is about as severe as it gets for me in recent years. It sends me crashing down pretty deep when it ends because I always hope that won't ever happen again.

I generally don't believe in God, but when I'm poorly i believe that God wants me to kill myself, I hear him. My being killed will save the world!
