One "truth" that continues to reign is the belief in god or gods. We are trained almost from birth to believe such myths, like Santa Claus, Easter bunny, tooth fairy, angels, etc. Folks who believe in any of these invisible entities can believe literally anything. Should we be training our kids this way? To ask an invisible ghost to "if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take"? No wonder we're going off the rails.
