The one person I knew personally who broke with reality wasn't religious, and instead seemed to be pulling ideas from her previous goals and highlights of her life. She described a sort of ideal version of her life, the best things she could think of in the moment, regardless of consistency or reality. It makes sense that if one were raised in a religious household, one would talk about being chosen by God or some such instead of how you were getting straight A's in school and getting hired by 5 different places.
