This seems like a separate issue. Giving people bad advice, even advice that will lead to injury or death can happen no matter what you believe. In fact, doesn't the law provide some protection from this kind of thing in certain situations. Like for example I teach someone how to make "rad fireworks" and they blow themselves up. On the other hand, I could tell my friend to jump of a bridge but I wouldn't be liable if he actually did it.
In the case of stairing at the sun I would say this is more of an issue of bad public safety education, not bad beliefs.
