It's also tricking someone into thinking something there is agency behind something when there is no reason to think that there is. Or screwing around with flawed probability statements.

Yeah, doesn't it seem weird when you are on the outside looking in at generally intelligent people trying to make nonsense sound sensible?

Yeah... it is frustrating.

It's like I can hear a switch flipping. If we move from another subject to religion, their whole outlook on logic, evidence and reason completely changes. It's like talking to a different person.

It's not the only subject that causes such a change in people, but it's a very common one. I guess it's the mind going into super defensive mode.
