Religion, Patriotism and Sports

Guess what all three of these things have in common? They have the uncanny ability to put people in a trance like state. If you have ever watched someone in a church or watching "a game", their eyes are somewhat glossed over and their face motionless. In addition patriotism like religion will bring people to their knees and bring out the reasoning "of because that's what the church or the government says and whom are we to question it". You have to be afraid of those people. How do these three bodies convert people and capture their head? Simply, they strike when you are a child and are to afraid and ill equipped to know any better.
