The scary thing to me is that sometimes someone gets so gripped by a belief, it becomes impossible to imagine you are wrong. It feels like you believe something obvious and those who don’t are just fools or have malicious motives. And that assumption of malice is used as justification for dehumanizing people, while believing that you have some moral high ground.
