"Modern
psychology gives us a useful lens here.
Human beings are not only truth-seeking
creatures. We are also belonging seeking creatures. We absorb beliefs not merely
because they persuade us but because they connect us to family, community and
identity. That means a miracle story can become more than a story. It can become
a membership badge. To question it is not just to analyze a claim. It is to
risk being seen as disloyal to the group"

Charles Brown: Human beings are not just truth seeking ; we are belonging seeking ( by the way we are not “creatures “ ; we were not created ; we evolved; see my lectures on human evolution; smiles )
A lot of members of your social group your society , city-county, everyday contacts ( and all social groups around the world ; yours is not different than others in this regard ) are favoring social harmony and therefore accept the institutionalized lies ,impossible "miracle" stories half-truths , so-called propaganda because that allows them to get along with their crowd.
A lot of people accept white supremacy, too, because of this need to get along ; go along to get along .
