It's a bit of a fine point, a matter of definition. Are people nutty when their conscious reasoning is disabled by their decision (at some level) to identify with a group and group leader? Note that so identifying then pretty much *requires* believing what the group believes. Nutty or not, is it widespread human behavior, and might even be considered normal on that basis. Keep in mind that people don't really consciously decide not to do critical thinking about group dogma, they just can't/don't do it.
