Well at the beginning it looked like the mother was one of those disappeared people. And later it turned out she was in the cult. So my question - why chief's family went crazy if nobody from their family was taken?

Ever hear of something called "The rapture"? Look it up if you haven't. But it says it right at the start of the show, about the disappearances possibly being that biblical event taking place, or at least people (in the show, in the story) believing that it might be that. There's a reverend or priest in the show who is arguing against it being the rapture. There's also a guy (that black guy) who has himself set up as some sort of prophet or something. Then there's that white robed cult, and cults themselves usually come with some sort of religious aspect to them.
Why do I speak about religion indeed.

That is all cool. And that is what I have said - when unexpplainable things happen people turn to religion. It has been like that for centuries, so it would be surprising if there were no people trying to explain such an unexplainable event by religious thing. Naturally. And of course the outcome would be no religious disappearance lol. So yes, I am not sure why religion is so important here, it is just a natural part of the things, would be strange otherwise.
