I think it's 50/50. Some people are just using it as an excuse for their own hatred and thirst for power, and some people really think they are doing the right thing in name of religion, country, whatever. I mean, look at all the people killed during the Crusades and the Inquisition. But even with that, I think there were power-lusters and naive believers...both sides.

It's like the Patty Hearst case...was she brainwashed, or did she know what she was doing? Even though she went to jail, the jury is still out on that one.
