I have noticed that the farther typical US people seem to go into religiosity, as well as other pseudoscientific beliefs such as alien abductions and Elvis sightings, that their general gullibility goes up. I guess when you're accepting one thing that doesn't make sense based on what you're told that it's not a big jump to believe other things that don't make sense based on what you are told - and often by the same people.
If you can believe in a god that you cannot detect with any sense or data collection equipment, and believe what someone says or writes that he wants you to do, that you can believe an alien abduction that can be observed to not happen, believe in "channeling" higher beings who lived on a continent that has been proven to not exist, or believe in a nuclear meltdown that isn't detectable with any scientific equipment in any country, or being reported by those scientists in any country in any language in any credible manner... or being reported by the people who live near it.
I guess they missed the part where sheep are known to get shorn, then slaughtered.
