It's the religion thing, the belief there's got to be something big at work, always something or someone controlling the masses. Whether it's God, aliens, lizards, or a super group of people. Because the alternative is that their life, everyone's life, is meaningless on a macro level. People seem to almost violently reject that thought. Just like they reject any thoughts about death as if they're going to live forever (if not on Earth, then in Heaven/Hell/Purgatory/etc). It's rather fascinating.
