It depends on if you recognize the voice as your own thoughts that you control. If your thoughts hit your inner monologue before they hit your concious thoughts, the voices can quite litterally sound as if someone is speaking to you in the same room.
Normal people experience it extremely rarely, usually when absent mindedly distracted with memories and thoughts or while waking up. Normal people will also rapidly recognize it was a stray thought and there’s not actually someone there. Daydream type stuff.
Everyone loves to pretend the differences between “crazy” and “normal” are vast, but all it takes is the tiniest detail of your thought process to be wrong, and suddenly you have A LOT of evidence there’s someone or something else talking to you. All it takes is not being very smart beyond that, and suddenly God or your imaginary best friend is telling you to embezzle and you totally believe it.
Probably why ye’ olde people merc’d people for heressy. Even amongst the religous who are far more likely to believe with thin evidence, it works to weed out literal crazy.
Hearing voices is called schizophrenia

Any belief in a magic man in the sky is literal crazy.
