Typically as social beings we feel safety in a group... And to remain part of a perceived group, an individual must maintain the group narrative, otherwise the individual risks being ousted or outcast... A danger to our psyche as social beings.
Each group narrative becomes its own religion... the narrative like a god to be worshipped... to have faith in... to be abided by... The narrative becomes a source of Morality... Those who follow are "Good", while those who don't follow are "Bad" or "Evil."
Group narrative is seen as Truth, and we rejoice when others echo the same narrative, as if it's an assurance of our own correctness... our own "Goodness."
