Crowd psychology is a branch of social psychology. Ordinary people can typically gain direct power by acting collectively. Historically, because large groups of people have been able to bring about dramatic and sudden social change in a manner that bypasses established due process, they have also provoked controversy. Social scientists have developed several different theories for explaining crowd psychology, and the ways in which the psychology of the crowd differs significantly from the psychology of those individuals within it. Carl Jung coined the notion of the Collective unconscious. Other major thinkers of crowd psychology include Gustave Le Bon, Wilfred Trotter, Gabriel Tarde, Sigmund Freud and Elias Canetti.

Q. Well, I don't know exactly what you felt, but from this atheists standpoint I'd say you've experienced a mass induced psychosis. It is quite a commonly accepted psychological phenomenon. People in large groups can become emotionally charged rather easily. Also, you have to realize that church services are programmed to elicit that specific response from the audience! Especially with their tear jerking music when they pass the offering plate around.

Are they sure that isn't gas? Answered by iBolt! - Thu Apr 23 10:54:37 2009 What do you think about the people at these town hall meetings?
Q. Well this is a bit of my thought process on the whole thing, whats your take? It seems as if the sleeping giant is waking, what I'm talking about of course, is the events taking place at the town hall meetings. It reminds me of the movie Network when everyone shouts out their window "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!". Well the media is framing the debate as dangerous and undemocratic, dangerous only if people don't keep their wits about them, but undemocratic, come on, this is the definition of democracy, mob rule, just a different mob. Though this mob (hopefully) may have an undemocratic intention, in that they wish to restore the Republic to its former glory through the use of the democratic means of the mob.

No matter how riled up they get their cause is only justified by evil and ignorance. But if push comes to shove, I agree with your assessment.
