Sometimes as in churches that are 'away from the world' in their theology. Other times it can make flying into a building seem like a good idea. Mostly religiosity, and I mean more than half of folks, religiosity is a form of fundamentalism that gives a rigid world view steeped in legalism and dividing the world into 'saved' and 'sinners' leaving folks approaching life with a fantasy role playing war game. Us vs Satan. Really useful to authoritarians and nothing about a sense of connection to a loving god or universe.
