I’m not even a Christian and this is a genuinely rubbish take, go and look up William Wilberforce for example.
Edit: I feel that I really have to stress what I thought was obvious, the notion that every human being from behavioural modernity to the Enlightenment was mentally ill is so foolish on the face of it that it isn’t worth even entertaining even for the sake of argument.
Yes, they were. I am mentally ill too, I am depressed, I am anxious, we all have some degree of what one generation ago was a mental illness and now isn’t.
Mental illness doesn’t mean dysfunctional or crazy, but if you have a heart surgeon that’s also a Flat Earther, what do you call that?

Better a flat earther than a Capitalist heart surgeon who writes you a $500000 bill Because you did not have insurance.
That’s nice but that wasn’t the question.
As long as the surgeon is not in charge of my geographic or topographic needs, I’m golden.
It doesn’t take mental illness to believe untrue things.
