Why does religious zeal exist?
How do people give religion so much importance that they can't see how it affects anything else in their lives?

It’s not through analysis or cogitation. It appears to me that some people have some buttons ready to be pressed. Say certain magic words and they’ll respond with zealous religious behavior springing from deep subconscious wiring. You can’t expect to change them with logic.
I don’t necessarily see that as a bad thing.

It reminds me of a never-ending camagin.. If they can get everyone on their bandwagon, they must be right?! Though the ‘zeal’ stands out … what I notice most often is a going-through-the-motions behavior, like zombies.. And the Zealots I’ve met appear to burn out fast
