> I am thoroughly convinced that the general public is under some kind of spell or something. These are called Hylics. What you are seeing is the actual large swath of humanity that is mentally/spiritually barely above that of a animal. Normally, it would be sad to see these people, or at least shame them back to normality. Now, it is very very dangerous. If the Hylics will believe and follow such absurdities without question, what do you think they will do next? Protip: It isn't pretty.
