In the case of religion all the world's problems can be blamed on the devil - for some DUers they can all be blamed on Bush, Gannon or Rove. Conspiracy theories often become a pseudo-religion of their own; they fill a vacancy for many who reject traditional-relgion. Both conspiracy theories and religion offer the same kind of concise way to explain the world's mysteries and complexities, which is what makes them so appealing.
