There have been a lot of studies that show neurochemistry causes the brain to accept or ignore facts they normally wouldn't when it comes to religion & politics (so they can be reasonable about anything else but one or both topics will throw reason out the window) and how religious practices even cause parts of the brain to shrink. So in a way many devout believers really are a little crazy and you can't reason with them anymore than you can reason with a schizophrenic and for very similar reasons (at least not once their religion is tapped).
