I don't get the point of this.
I'm reading it as, "It's understandable people get drawn into this cult. It doesn't make them dumb."
I agree with that. It's totally understandable. It doesn't necessarily make them dumb at all. The tactics that are employed to hook people in range from devious to downright harmful. If there is another message here that isn't just an appeal to popularity, I don't know what it is. We could just as easily be discussing a confidence trickster.
Is this another "I'm not crazy for believing this" attempt? I'm coming to the conclusion that a lot of theists are here to convince themselves of this.
