Having faith doesn't always mean they follow it blindly. Good greif, the whole point of most religions is to question things and draw your own conclusions based on holy text and your own intuition.
By the same token, cults do the same thing - present the illusion of choice so that the indoctrinated are made to believe that their choices are their own so that they harbor no ill will towards their elders. The gullible fall for that (OMG - I brought a tangent full circle) while the scared, dejected ones see their situation as being between a rock and a hard place - they loose what they perceive as everything if they make the wrong choice (friends, family, security, etc.).
