Ironically, religions provide the antithesis of some of the arguments of the
anti-conspiracy theorists, in that while it's near impossible to make
everyone believe the story, with a little bit of luck, it's relatively easy
to fool the majority for centuries at a time, and it needn't even take that
much logistics and effort. Of course failure rate of religions is high
enough and results are not fully predictable, so it's not the ideal model to
plant a conspiracy surely and speedily.
