As a former believer, I often wonder why faith in a higher power is not considered delusion. has anything been written about this? what is your take on this?

Why is Faith in a higher power not considered to be delusion?

Psychologist here. Delusions are typically stand alone beliefs. By definition if there is a group of people who share similar beliefs, even if those beliefs are incorrect and disproven, it is not delusional in a psychotic sense. This is why conspiracy theorists and the beliefs of sovereign citizens are not considered to be delusional.
