If you look at cults, their followers will not question their leaders, and do anything they say. This happens in the larger religions too. Look at scientology, Xenu (sometimes Xemu) is introduced as an alien ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. Scientologists believe the alien souls continue to do this today, causing a variety of physical ill-effects in modern-day humans.
Now, this is no different than islam or christianity. They both seem to follow blindly. When their is evidence against the existance of their god, and their religion, they say they must have faith, and believe no matter what. No amount of reason or proof can show them otherwise, no matter how sensible it is. People will pour their money and lives into a religion.
