I.e., no substantial number of people would have believed it if its claims weren't true.
This boils down to "If a lie is believed, then it is not a lie", as if lies were not purposely manufacturered to generate belief.
The reason why so many dim wits believe in the bullshit is precisely because it is such an utterly disgustingly unscrupulous fraud.
