They take the form of religious delusions and paranoia in western society, too, depending on the individuals belief system. I've worked multiple clients where their symptoms manifest as religious paranoia and delusions. Generally I agree about the manifestation of symptoms, though. More of the clients I work with have symptoms that manifest as governmental delusions and paranoia.
I remember when I was doing my psych rotation in nursing school, back in around 1983. It was in the county hospital psych ward, and a common report by the patients was that God talked to them through the television. I haven't worked in a psych facility as a professional, and I've wondered if God now speaks through the computer or the I-phone.
