If you study psychology you'll find scientific studies showing that on certain subjects, particularly religion, many people lie about their true beliefs. So they're likely not as weak minded and irrational as you assume.

That's absolutely priceless. Actually, in my opinion, the epithet 'weak minded and irrational' pretty much applies by definition to anyone who believes there's a big invisible man in the sky who's going to judge them when they die, but aside from that, since one of the basic tenets of most religions is
thou shall not bear false witness, if they further
lie about their beliefs, we have at best 'many' raging hypocrites here, if not candidates for reality therapy.
Also, if they lie about their beliefs, it would be pretty obviously weak minded and irrational of these supposed 'scientific studies' to subsequently qualify the veracity of their claim that they are liars, but aren't lying about lying, as some sort of viable statistic.
If you've 'studied psychology' you probably already know all about wish fulfillment, and your belief that such 'scientific studies'
even exist is exactly that.
But of course it's entirely reasonable for you to invoke phrases such as 'scientific studies' when you're really only referring to unsubstantiated opinions and half-baked speculations to support this idea that you have a greater ability to discern the truth than anyone else. After all, that basic contention
couldn't possibly get any more ludicrous even if you tried.

That is called lying. That's some impressive bullshit twisting but it's not going to fool anyone with a trace of integrity, it'll just make you look the fool. You can claim lies are true but your credibility drops each time you go on record and soon you'll be ignored as just another slimeball.
