Paranoia is a psychological disorder characterized by delusions of persecution or grandeur.
People with paranoia suffer from irrational fears that are not about a specific object, but about their surroundings or how they are perceived by their surroundings and cannot let go of things that happen to them.
People with paranoia have a decreased ability to function in normal life, when paranoia gets extremely bad it turns into a delusion of persecution and pretty much eliminates the ability to function in normal life.
Extreme paranoia is usually a symptom of a larger disorder, the most widely known is schizophrenia. Paranoia can sometimes occur in a major depression, because sometimes depressed people think the whole world is against them.
Paranoia is a mental disorder, that includes an unfounded belief of persecution, thinking people are after you, accusing people of things that you aren't sure of.
Paranoia is an irrational fear of being purposefully attacked by an outside agent. Thus, an irrational fear of heights is not paranoia, because there's no outside agent purposefully attacking you; whereas an irrational fear of being poisoned is paranoia, because you imagine an outside agent attacking (poisoning) you. Religious paranoia would be an irrational fear of being purposefully attacked by an outside agent in a religious context. Some examples: 1. The fear that someone is going to steal your soul. 2. The fear that God is out to get you. 3. The fear that the Mormons are plotting against you.
No. Just a repetition of religious paranoia that plagued the 16th and 17th centuries.

It depends on the cause of the paranoia. There are lots of causes of Paranoia. If the paranoia is caused by something like a stroke or other medical or neurological problem then it might not be possible unless the paranoia is due to a chemical imbalance. This 'may' be treatable. If however the paranoia is psychological then there are some quite effective methods of reducing and even removing the paranoia.
