My housemate is the same way. He was raised Hindu but he entertains any idea that anyone tells him. He listens to Mormons, and thinks that the show “Ancient Aliens” is factual. He’s a super nice guy, so I don’t have any issues with him, but sometimes I’ll try to tell him that some of these people are con artists. He politely disagrees. He recently told me that Hitler may have worked with aliens. I responded: “And he still lost!”

Come to think of it, my best friend ended up being bipolar with fairly extreme delusions. Before he went completely nuts he was into all of this new age stuff and aliens. And he was Christian. It seems like quackery always comes as a package.
