Equality.

I do care about what it is true. If I was convinced I was deluding myself into thinking God exists, I would not be able to think/believe God exists.
You do realize what the word 'delusion' means, right? Axioms regard formal logic & math. If you apply axioms at will, like religion does, without regard to logical consequences and taking advantage of informal speech you are bound to be wrong.

Take the notion of a deist god: That is an axiom deists take. Can you construct a logic, a structure based on that, without adding axioms of your own? If not, then what's the point?

Do notice that axioms in math & formal logic, although not completely solid, they are based on reality. Take it like the law of no contradiction in logic. I can tell you the difference between being burned and not being burned, I can then say that if something is true and false is always false. It is an axiom, but its something I can show you to be true.
