The results of a highly biased sample are meaningless. Who is more likely to believe that kind of garbage, a rational, logical person, or a person who believes in things like genesis, revelation, astrology, magic, god, etc.? Almost all conspiracy theories fall into two classes: 1. UFO's, aliens, abductions; 2. religion, NWO, united-religions, Illuminati-freemasonry. Religion is the primary foundation of the conspiracy theory, it's all about secret cabals, esoteric plans / rituals / knowledge, secret satanic plans to rule the world and destroy Christianity, etc. Most people who are holocaust deniers are supremely religious. The official position of most Islamic regimes is that the holocaust didn't happen, that 'The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion' is factual, that Israel controls the US/UN etc. and that the Israeli mossad is the 'real' perpetrator of the 911 attacks, etc. ad nauseum. Furthermore, these conspiracies are very big in the Islamic world, a Lot of Muslims believe them (and fabricate them, too I think). I don't think the demographic for conspiracy theory belief in the west is all that different. People who haven't learned how to tell bullshit, from non-bullshit, and extreme religious belief tend to be same (or why would most of the conspiracy theories be specifically about religion). Of what use is a religious conspiracy to a rationalist or an atheist? _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
