Speaking as a self-confessed nutjob, everyone has irrational beliefs for a variety of reasons, be that comfort, a sense of higher social status, control, or whatever. Belief is a paradoxically very strong and very fragile thing depending on how far you're willing to go to back it up. Some will have their whole lives revolve around an irrational belief, others just save it for a spot of magical thinking and leave it at that. I doubt anyone has the time or inclination to be super-logical about everything, it's only when the person starts getting offensive that my alarm bells start ringing.
But I doubt I'd confront them, better to let them stew in their own mental filth, you never know, it might bring them to their senses when they notice a lot of people backing away, figuratively and literally.
