I wonder whether religion's emphasis on belief rather than faith is contributing to the current state of the United States in which believing an outlandish statement, or at least tolerating it, is about showing loyalty. Immigrants eating dogs and cats? I'll nod my head politely (just like in church when something I am supposed believe but don't is said), maybe even say, "it's possible, what do I know?" because it is how I show I am loyal. Stating one's beliefs or agreeing to a statement of beliefs in the context of religion is a statement of one's loyalty to that religion.#
