you have a logical view of how logical people cannot be manipulated. but you are wrong. here's a short segment where former Soviet propagandist Yuri Bezmenov explains the stages "ideological subversion." once a people are demoralized (stage 1):

"exposure to true information does not matter anymore. a person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information - the facts tell nothing to him. even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures, even if I take him by force...and show him concentration camps, he will refuse to believe it..."

logic does not protect one from brainwashing. faith communities, however, forge a protective layer against demoralization.
