You're not there to join a movement. You're not there to get propaganda. You're there to get authentic material for a story. You're there to glean some raw reality so your work will have the edge of truth. However, as you participate in the real world, you should be careful since the people caught up in the passions of their beliefs may not appreciate your commitment to independent thought.
Speculation is fun and can lead to good story-telling.
Turning things upside down, inside out, back forwards is what writers do. This questioning is discouraged. Writers are forever pulling the curtain aside to see how things really work. They look under rocks. They want the story behind the story.
