You probably know why if you've read True Believer by Eric Hoffer.

Thanks for the book recommend.

You'll probably enjoy reading it. It's a classic; it shows the dynamics of a crusade, showing the basic characteristics of group-think movements.

It's not anti-religious, since the principles are explained using also political and philosophical movements. It's more of a book about us as humans, and how we respond to subtle group pressures.
