That is my point because you would be aware it is a lie, as you said

Because every time you look at yourself in the mirror you would see the truth.
For instance there is a good example of what I'm talking about in documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief" where you can observe ex scientologists fanatically defending their scientology and then afterwards like they're out of hypnosis. There is something in people that they will spite even common sense if they feel victimized or some other similar reason.
I mean sure, maybe in the past you could say that Christians were honest in believing that world was few thousand years old, that some man saved all animals from a global flood in a boat, virgin birth etc. because people knew very little of how nature works and that's why it is said today that "God is dead" and believers in God are gravediggers.
Not to mention other lies that we mentioned that Christian leaders say to their flock like Obamacare is nazism - you know all of a sudden they believe it, no, they just accept it although they know it's not true.
