I'm inventing a new term, "trust fatigue", but I haven't nailed down the definition yet.
I think there's a human tendency to want to put all your eggs in one basket in terms of who you trust, because making new decisions about who to trust is exhausting.

It *is* exhausting to make decisions. So people love religions or worldviews that say "this is good and that is bad".
They don't have to make sense or be consistent. As long as someone else makes the decisions.

I talk about it as trust having inertia - until you're presented with something that shocks you out of it or hit some critical point, you will tend to trust the things you've always trusted even as trustworthiness falls from 100% to 0%
Some people will stick to old habits for too long, and, well... that's their own thing to deal with.
