No, I find it implausible that someone can **only** believe in the 
specific mythology of their religion, without taking on, at bare 
minimum, Altie medicine, *or*, therapeutic touch, *or* astrology, *or* 
at least **one**, of not far more, other goofy ideas. I am not 
advocating that they will automatically believe in any *specific* random 
idea you might name, just at least one or more of the myriad absurdities 
people also believe in. Want to bet how many Jesus nuts fell for "The 
Secret!", for example?
