The strong delusion is THE ONE that POLUTES the TEMPLE!!! The TEMPLE in question is the NAOS type of temple, the people the message was for. The POLLUTION is a FALSE MESSIAH, who name is Jesus.
STRONG DELUSION INDEED.
Yahshua is the true Messiah. You better stop thinking there is no difference, for there asuredly is a HUGH difference.

What you're talking about is found in 2 Thessalonians 2:11, but it doesn't say "the lie", which would indicate something specific, but the verse says "a lie", which indicates ANYTHING that God did not authorize.
All of what you listed there in your question are things that God never authorized, so they are all lies, and if you believe in them, then in hell you will lift up your eyes.
If you want religious truth, you must follow the plan of salvation, which is this:
1) You must HEAR the Word of God, Romans 10:17.
2) You must BELIEVE what you've heard, Romans 10:9-10, Hebrews 11:6.
3) You must REPENT of your sins, Luke 13:3.
4) You must CONFESS Christ to be the Son of God, Matthew 10:32-33.
5) You must BE BAPTIZED for the remission of your sins, Acts 2:38, 8:37-38.
After that, you must BE FAITHFUL unto death, Matthew 10:22b, Acts 2:42, Revelation 2:10c.
What you should do is check out this website, www.bible.ca, to find a Church of Christ in your area. You can ask whatever questions you have to the brothers there, who will give you a Bible answer.

Some days I think it's Al Gore.
In all seriousness, I'm afraid that the strong delusion may originate with a small group of Christians with the best of intentions. (And no, I'm not putting you in that group.) I had to give up on the Southern Baptist Convention some years ago because they were doing things like declaring THE sin they were most concerned about in a given year. This is so far off the path that God put us on that I'm not even sure what to say about it. God's plan for us is restoration. We all have to consider carefully whether the things we say and do are helping or hindering his plan. Every time Christians are perceived as pointing the finger at sinners (which, according to my Bible, we're not entitled to do anyway), we throw another log on the delusion fire for non-believers.

Could be any or all of the above plus more. Think about it. Some people think that Hillary in the White House is a good thing. HOW MUCH MORE DELUDED CAN YOU GET!!!
How about sucking the brains out of a baby's skull at 9 months gestation as its entire body is hanging right in front of you and call it a clump of cells??? Uh Sounds Like DELUDED to me!!!
How about sexual perversion???
These are all things that some people are completely blinded to. It is not just an opinion it is a "strong delusion" that is why you could put a completely formed child in front of them that was murdered at the hands of a professional medical doctor and he would call it the "product of conception", not a child. That my friend is a strong delusion. It is demonic and only the Spirit of the Living God can remove it and open their eyes if they have a heart to change.

Not sure if the "strong delusion" is here BUT I would say it is a combination fo number 4 & 5.
One of the most prominent and unbliblical teachings going out there is the "Health and Wealth Gospel" as presented on TBN and other Christian Channels as well as many churches dashed across the globe.

The passage you refer to also states: They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all with be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
A "powerful delusion" to me is greed, self-centeredness, EGO and the will to do "whatever it takes" to get what an individual desires (money, power, etc). I think ego is probably the most powerful delusion there is.

I think The Lie is anything that changes the gospel of Jesus Christ into something it isn't, such as "It doesn't matter what you believe, as long as you're a good person." Confessing our sin and accepting and trusting in Jesus as our Savior is God's plan of salvation for mankind, and anything that distorts that is to me the ultimate lie.

5). The lie of Satan that got this fallen world into the state it's in - "That you can be as God." (Gen. 3:5). Man has believed that down through the ages, whether he's a humanistic, pagan evolutionist, a carousing drunk, a prostitute, a "bleed heart liberal" or a pious, religious person trying very hard in his own effort to justify himself apart from the work of Christ.

wait, since when is communism, facism, and flat currency against "god"? God says the poor and indigent get everything, how is that not pretty darn close to communism? I doubt there is a free market economy in heaven... it seems much more likely that everyone has an equal share of everything, and they all willingly work (which is what the ideals of communism is built on....)
And who are you to judge that other religions are right or wrong? really....

I think the strong delusion will be the propaganda regarding Planet X / Nibiru, and a false Alien Savior.
