Granted. Speaking as one. There are, however a number of classes of religious persons and believers in various other 'isms' (in particular certain political 'isms') that this very much applies to.
Anything that takes over a person's identity has this exact effect. From the extremists in either major political party to football teams, religions (and atheists) and people who wrap their identity around a brand name.. ie - Apple or Android, Ford & Holden, Mac or Windows, Canon vs Nikon etc etc.. humans aren't, by and large, rational across all things.
Not all religious people are like this.
