You don't have to be a zealot or a idiot to consider it "important'.

but it helps to be a zealot or idiot to be patriotic or religious. I'm an atheist and don't care for this country's policies that hurt foreigners. So I reject most aspects of patriotism and find organized religion to be generally ethnocentric. Both patriotism and religion are largely forces of evil in current context.
