This explains most conspiracy theories: it's easier to believe that the bad in the world is caused by some evil cabal than it is to accept that it's just chaotic and crazy shit happens. It's no surprise that most conspiracy theorists are also religious and believe there is some fight between the devil and god playing out. It's a small leap from one position based on faith to the other.
