Do you mean you, as a mature sane person, can accept evidence from sources other than the ones you used trusting lately?
And, among these other sources, could you trust your personal observations and your logical reasoning more than of your trusted sources?

In reality, billions of people prefer to follow some others as good sheep do, so that they can be on the safe side (with the hope they will not be chosen among the sheep that should be slaughtered under one pretext or another).
I mean just what I said. I can consider new evidence and then accept it if it seems trustworthy. My personal observations and reason are compared to the new evidence on a case by case basis, trusted source or not. 
If your talking about the religious sheep and buying the promise of heaven (safe?), I agree. In my view that does not make them correct. I consider them manipulated and deluded.

What do you have that supports this conclusion? I think that many would differ with you. One differing position would be that a living things purpose of existence would be to survive and multiply not caring if it serves.

Thank you for supporting my conclusion. Indeed, the main duty of a living thing is to survive as long as possible and multiply in order to ensure the continuity of life in the world.

I will ask again, what is your evidence that supports your conclusion? I partially supported your conclusion at best. You neglect to consider populations that die by their own hand and cease contributing to the world.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
