I think we can probably say that the human race is capable of generating
"nuts"
with or without the help of "religion". And it is certain that no matter
what one believes,
there will always be those who regard on as a nut. :)
A lot BTW: there is a SF/fantasy story by Isaac Asimov, I think, about
this man
who lives in mortal fear of being carried off by squirrels. Finally he
is. ;)
