The 'something weird is going on' is the Great Reset, Russell, which you have promoted through your promotion of Trump and Musk claiming they would stop the Great Reset. The irony is immense. You might also ask if the religious mind is 'corralled and contained by circuits' of limited programmed belief which serves the Great Reset perfectly. 
The truth does not have borders that must not be crossed. The truth is not confined to a single book. The truth cannot blaspheme. It just is. If it has limits then it's not the truth. 
The 'unrelenting insanity' you speak of here comes from not understanding this.
