We should not be surprised about this, nor should we expect it to change. I would expect that it is rather difficult to convince a person suffering from schizophrenia that the demons/angels/fairies/gods/messiahs he sees and communicates with are only in his head. The "visions" validate themselves and a commitment to a belief in the supernatural.
