It would seem to me that if you are sick or your health is suffering, several things can result:
1) you dont have the time or energy to consider what the (authoritarian) leader is doing as carefully (cognitive)
2) you may just be too tired/sick to do anything about it (physical)

There's a parasite that apparently cures adult onset asthma, e.g. So I think that while the theory would be hard to prove, the power of parasites causing complex physiological changes should not be ignored.

People in first world countries are getting more and more secular because they have more time, more willpower to decide about life on their own. If you are poor or sick you spend all mental energy on caring about here and now and you let "higher power" to lead everything else.
