Different groups have different beliefs.
The people of Waknuk believe that mutation is dangerous and needs to be destroyed. Because the setting is a post-apocalyptic world, this belief probably developed from a need for survival and started out (at least in terms of crops) as a legitimate need. Unfortunately, they found a very cruel book along with The Bible as they were developing their belief system, and they now interpret God's word as only accepting of a certain kind of human being. Nothing different is allowed.
The fringe people believe in survival, and some of them question the beliefs of Waknuk and the surrounding communities... because they see the value of the people around them. However, since they are mutants, they have been pushed to the edges and don't have enough good land to survive, so they have to fight and raid to get enough to eat. Their belief systems don't seem to have had a lot of time to evolve beyond the Waknukians. :)
The Zealanders seems to believe in developing and breeding for telepathy, which to them is the superior way to be, and if they happen to genocide some other groups in the process, they don't seem to care.
David's group of telepaths seem to believe in learning and in surviving... and luckily a few of them get a chance to do that.
