I've thought that this issue of "space" and "heaven" being one in the same probably had a great deal to do with some people rejecting the concept that we went to the moon. Add that to the belief that anything having to do with space exploration has to be "science fiction" and you have extremely fertile ground for the idea of a moon hoax. I'd be curious to know if highly religious folks believe in the hoax more frequently than non religious people...but that's an issue for another place and time.
