I guess maybe it requires spending some time on what actually is "belief," but I don't think most people actually believe the nonsense they spout. I think they believe they are suppose to believe certain things. Or they WANT to believe certain things, because the implications of the alternatives terrify them. But they work to manipulate others into supporting the bad ideas almost as though they can change reality by doing so. If others "believe" with them they can at least feel like they are hiding from reality.
