They are part of the reasons and it would not make sense without them, as far as the Shia-Sunni issue goes, because of converts. Therefore bias is not sufficient as an explanation for it would not explain the decision of converts nor would it explain the blindness to many of the proofs that even most Shias are unaware of.

Yeah, this is complete poppycock. I've studied cognitive bias and what you speak of is well within its purview.

You're ignoring the perfectly good explanation because you don't know. Ignorance of the effects of bias =/= demons and dark forces.
