Look at the "christian" religion, for starters.
People en masse believe the most ridiculous, infamous lies, purely on the basis of having been brain-washed in the tradition. There are millions of "faithful" walking around today, enjoying all the fruits of modern technology, who seriously maintain that the earth is 5,000 years old and the bible is to be taken as a literal history. It's nothing short of mass insanity.

Yes this material world is called Maya or illusion it is a fallacy that we accept it as real. It exists but it is temporary and full of misery. It is not our real home yet everyone is trying to make it our home. We are not theses bodies,ie; race, color, religion, nationality, job, etc. yer we try to accept it as so. We are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul also known as creator, Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. We have a long lost eternal relationship with He whom lives in the core of our hearts yet we deny that constantly.Not knowing this is the cause of all depression, Anxiety, and illusion. if one wants to give up these false conceptions and come to reality they should take up the process of Chanting the Maha Mantra (the great mantra for deliverance from all suffering and illusion. It is the quickest and easiest way for reawakening our true identity. go to krishnaculture. for complete details Read Bhagavad Gita As it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada for Universal truths and our real purpose in life.

Lies destroy any language. The most classic treaty on the subject was done by Aristotle.
