In reading it again it occurs that religion is never equated to conspiracy in the articles we see. Some of us have made the connection but they are seldom, if ever, mentioned together. Understandable i guess in a place as relatively deeply Christian U.S.A. If you are trying to convey some understanding of the whys, whose and whens of conspiracy as Francesco Ciccolella is there why chance off-putting many be bringing religion into it.

Psychoticism is a core feature of so-called schizo-typal personality disorder, characterized in part by “odd beliefs and magical thinking” and “paranoid ideation.” In the language of psychiatry, it is a milder form of full-blown psychosis, the recurrent delusional state that characterizes schizophrenia. It’s a pattern of magical thinking that goes well beyond garden variety superstition and usually comes across socially as disjointed, uncanny or “off.” https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=163437834
Then again i guess not, as a belief in religion could be seen to be excluded by "It’s a pattern of magical thinking that goes well beyond garden variety superstition." In other words well beyond a belief of certainty in any one of the worldwide religions of today.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
