It is the age old cry "All gods are a religious fantasy ... except for mine"

No! Orwell, in "1984," called it Doublethink (AKA Cognitive Dissonance):

"To know and to not know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy is impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy. To forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself”

-- George Orwell, "1984"

Just posted this on another page, but it works here too.

Religion has an opposite approach to truth as it is normally framed. Saying that truth is that which confirms what you want to believe, as opposed to the normal and scientific approach, which are the normal that, truth is truth regardless of what you want to believe, and the scientific view that the most valuable truth is that which, goes against what you want to believe.

When once you are in that mindset, then anything is possible.
