I think the proper word for this distinction is "Worldview". It fits better than "ideology" (not just explicit ideas) or "social-sphere" , "subculture" (not simply random cultural idiosyncracies), etc.
The important thing is to realize that other people simply have different worldviews. It's tempting to think there's a "worldview of the common man", shared by the 99%, but this is an unfair generalization (there are certainly more and less common worldviews, but no supermajority). Out-group homogeneity is a super tempting notion which has to be actively avoided!
Yeah, I agree that "normal" is way too much of a gloss; more properly I guess I mean "normal relative to the rationalists." I am sure even out of that bubble I am in some more subtle bubbles, though!
