Also, people may turn to religion during moments of strife. I may be reading too much into your comments, but this "John" thing sounds a little culty to me. Like a lion who isolates the grazer with a bum leg, many religions target people who are in so much turmoil that their mental defenses are weak against dogma.


It very much is.  My stepson works as an engineer and is into climbing and working out in his spare time.  So he is capable of practical thinking but he fully embraces 'helper spirits' and all manner of bizarre and supernatural stuff.
