Agency is a funny thing. Those whose sense of agency is entirely externalized ("God controls everything") are often treated somewhat respectably within society but are generally regarded as insane by most rational people. Paradoxically, a person whose sense of agency does not extend much or at all beyond the individual sphere is almost without exception regarded as not only mad but possibly dangerous to boot; a psychopath presenting with a serious malady that may result in an attempt to restrain or otherwise "treat" the offending party, in order that they be instructed as to the error of their ways, however harmless they may ultimately be.
