When does a keen interest in something turn into a fixation, and then become unhealthy mentally for the individual? Take a sports fan, as an example. Most keen fans can go to a game, cheer loud and proud, enjoy themselves, sit beside fans of the other team and give friendly jabs. Then there are those who lose sleep the day before, the day after, and send death threats to a player who made a mistake, or a referee who they figure made a bad call.
In religion, there are those who can drop it and go off to do something else, they can have a beer a year, and be rather religious by most standards, yet live some kind of productive life outside of religion.
Political agendas, social agendas, have the same sets of people ... keenly interested, and fixated.
Thoughts?
