I agree blind faith can cause problems, but I don't think it necessarily makes someone weak minded or incapable of thinking for themselves.

I didn't say that they obviously had to be brainwashed into it. I said that they are following some one else's beliefs and not thinking for themselves. Of course there is free will to believe what they want. But then there is also the 'heard mentality', so there is usually no objective thinking involved in their decision. They just tend to think something like, 'Well everyone else believes this, so it must be true'.
