This was pretty good. It's about some people that get stuck in a grocery store when a wierd fog rolls over their town. Then monsters start coming out of the mist and feed on the people. On the human end, we have a Lord of the Flies situation in the grocery store. At first, everyone is trying to sit still and await rescue, but they start breaking under psychological pressure, leading them all into a cult frenzy. Soon, fundamentalist Christians take over the store and ruin it for everybody.
This got me thinking: Could it be true that religious belief rises as a function of psychological stress? Is religious piousness just a symptom of mental instability?
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. Generally, people that are highly religious are susceptible to mental stress, and people that are psychologically healthy tend to be atheists. This is what I have experienced.
Of course, this means that psychological soundness is a requirement for basic atheism. If people are put under enough psychological pressure, they drop atheism and take up religion to relieve the pain. Yeah, I got this from the movie.
