I'd go perhaps a step further and suggest that humans have evolved psych facilities directly supporting cult norms like that... shame and disgust responses strike me as strong mechanisms for memetic contraband.

Interesting thought I had a while back: if a 'cult'/group/tribe is not able to support their members, higher rates of immune dysfunction (via low food, health etc) might lead to children with less disgust responses and more social aversion. A naturally balancing system.
