Definitely mostly this. I grew up doing it so it's a little different (not sure how grown adults are brought into it), but basically you are encouraged when you are young to "just start making noises even if it seems strange and God will start to speak through you". So I did, cause I was a kid and then eventually it becomes a sort of trance-like state and you become conditioned to respond that way to certain cues. It's pretty fucked, really
Wow

And the courts take this crap seriously...
Talk about enabling lunacy!

The disappointing thing is that people actually take it seriously.

The power of suggestion.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

I faked speaking in tongues once in order to get out of a nasty situation.
