I think we're all sheep in some way, to some degree. Nobody realizes exactly how they've been influenced by others. It's far easier to recognize it in other people. I'm sure everyone thinks they are thinking entirely for themselves, but I would guess just about all of us are running mostly off of the beliefs of our parents, friends, cultural traditions and media figures.
Question every belief you have on a regular basis, that's the only defense. I wouldn't concern yourself too much with what other people believe.
