Idk if religions are disorders but they are definitely memes in the truest sense. Richard Dawkins coined the word "meme" to define any idea that spreads from person to person through a culture and alters individual thinking. In the worst case, the individual would voluntarily die for the meme before passing on their genes. ("Memes" = "mind genes.")

Religion has definitely accomplished this in many cultures, many different times through history.

If you have time, I highly recommend, "The Selfish Gene." It's old, but it is still relevant and fun to read (if you like science stuff.)
