The fundamental nature of belief. Holding a deep conviction in a set of laws or ideals and surrounding yourself with like-minded ideologues will result a certain amount of collective confidence. And that confidence leads to people taking action.

I definitely get not wanting zealots to run roughshod over civil society, But it might be worth noting how much of civil society was built and continues to be maintained by people will deep convictions working in large groups.
