The best thing you can do if you disagree with him, is find common ground on the subject. Usually when there are deep divisions on a subject the truth lies somewhere in the middle. If it was 9/11 related and you agree that there should be a new investigation, then you don't need to go any farther than that. That's all the victims families and the 9/11 activists want.

I'd have inquired if his thinking was independent from the facts

wrong.. because there is no right religion. and there is a difference between myth and truth.

I would disagree because many people believe that their religion is the only right religion.

Many people are wrong and there is a difference between faith and fact.
Usually conspiracy theorists have some sort of factual evidence, where religious people simply have blind faith.

Agreed, but these people aren't logical. Nor are they easily reasoned with.

I don't think there's really a conspiracy theorist mindset, just a lot of stupidity directed at a certain subject. Some conspiracy theories are probably true. Some are quite convincing despite being unproven. Others are, however, obviously ludicrous.
The difference between a heathily cynical person and a conspiracy theorist is merely that the latter lack the logic and intelligence to tell the likely from the ludicrous.
