Mormons are taught from a VERY young age to lie, by saying they know the Church is twoo when they're barely old enough to walk. Parents whisper it into their ears to repeat, like a trained parrot. So by the time they reach the age of accountability, they've already been saying, "I know the church is twoo" for 6 years of their life, which seems like an eternity to an 8yo. So does any 8yo ever say, "You know what Mom and Dad, your whole religion is bogus. There was no Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden 6,000 yrs ago. So what's the point of a Savior? Why take advice from a guy who was full of shit?"
No. They just go along to get along. It's a survival mechanism that binds tribes together. And it works as long as nobody in the tribe is calling bullshit.

Yep. Classic Group Think, Tribalism, Mob Mentality. There's strength in numbers. Just stick with the plan and you'll get to the promised land.

That's the rub. They're not allowed to really research anything, they don't have access to the internet, unless it's to approved Mormon sources. And even then they're clueless. They don't even read the material published by the church they represent, so they can feign ignorance.

You're right, that wouldn't be nearly as delusional, or dishonest.
