If the message of the Holy Spirit is always true, why does God deliberately delude people?

If you read the preceding and following verses you will discover that he is referring to people who already refuse to believe God. It says that he will cause these people to believe and follow the man of lawlessness. It's not that the Spirit is lying to them, but rather that God is withholding the Spirit from them so that they will naturally be deceived by the man of lawlessness.
Why did god design the laws of logic to make suspension of belief in him the default position? Seems like a dumb move.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
