I applaud you for your honesty. 
No problem
, I consider hiding the truth to be lying to ones self (delusions) and wont stand for anything else than utter sheer honesty no matter how hard it hurts from anyone that I interact with. Anything else is distorting the truth to fit whatever works best for whatever delusion somebody believes in at the present time.
I find myself deluding myself sometimes too, its another bug in our makeup that we have to force ourselves to route around.
But even people who think they know someone I find that more often than not are full of shit and are deluding themselves to the point that they cannot even see the truth when its screaming at them in their faces.
Most of the worlds problems are the cause of delusions and I've found the wealthier someone is the more deluded they become, to fit the endorphin hit that they are receiving they will gladly distort and delude themselves just so that they can ignore the reality of whatever it is that they are doing, just like a heroin addict does.
This is why most people are still in the matrix, it makes them feel good to ignore the truth because if they ignore the fact that they are destroying the earth then they can continue to get more money/feel good things, and over-ride the irrational idea that we should continue to pollute and destroy the earth just because you/I need a new iPhone/car. (for example)
The natural state of a stable and logical mind is depression, as soon as you introduce endorphins it becomes irrational and illogical, hence why the saying "power corrupts and apsolute power corrupts apsolutley" They're fucking addicts just like everyone else is.
If you want to see real humanitarian acts, go to the people who have nothing, that is what we are like when we are living inside nature, it is an artifact of modern society that we have such ready access to happy thoughts, money is a big one but tv and movies and music are another.
Nothing is something that we have ALWAYS been, it is a part of us and goes far back into the times of cavemen, it is only since we have defined the values of what is or what isnt "something" that we have become to define ourselves as worthless human beings without money/love/power/personal transportation.
If a cavewoman puts on a set of jewelery pearls and diamonds then she has increased her self worth and self value to the point that she would ignore any facts or reality of her existence just for the next 'fix', this is why in humans past we have seen gross corruption. But she is still a cavewoman.
The same thing occurs today in modern times with a wife and a new SUV, or a man and a new toolbox/car. They're all full of shit and nobody cares about the damage that they are doing to the world outside of their perfectly controlled and policed country.
The best analogy I can give is that the human being is exactly as it sounds, it is a human being a human, without electrons cursing through the human brain we are nothing, just as with a light bulb it is not a light bulb unless you parse current through it, it is the sum of its components without electricity, it is exactly the same way in the human brain, without electronic impulses and a constant level of chemical reactions occuring, we cease to exist, and we cease to be able to process the thought process that we exist.
Which is why when you go uncouncious you cease to process thoughts, you may have a residual absence of time but you are counciously completely unaware of anything occuring outside of your body and from behind your eyeballs you are unable to perceive anything, the world could end outside and you would be completely obivious under anasthesia, underneath a complete uncounciousness.
Our feelings of spiritualness (if they exist, they dont in me, I need to take care of myself though so I am kind to myself, you do not need to have a spirit inorder to treat yourself or others with kindness though.) are an inherent thought process which some people have and some people do not (ex: life-term mass murdering psychotic prisoners).
So therefore the logical conclusion to religion is that god does not exist, and more importantly satan does not exist, heaven and hell do not exist and Buddha while he may have been a physical being, today does no longer exist. However it is a thought process of mine which I need to cope, so I make him exist.
I am not unkind to myself or to others, so I have made a councious LOGICAL descision to undertake believing in such a being, thats all it takes for religion to work, you do not need to delude yourself and believe in things that other human beings (who wrote the material/bible) believe, ie: Faith. "You gotta have faith!" - delusions.
This last point, Logic, is what kept me alive throughout my teenage years, otherwise without this constant logical thought process analysing every single descision that I made I probably would have comitted suicide at age 14. It was either give up my faith and use logic to fight my way out of the delusional world of my parents, or kill myself. I made the logical and right choice by discarding the delusions. And have done so eversince unless I permit their existence in my own mind.
Logic can take you very very far, through some of the most disturbing and torturous life events that you can possibly ever hope to survive, but your mind and body are influenced and tortured/manipulated and deceived as an everyday event in this modern day society that we all live in. As a result some of us will turn to faith inorder to cope with the pain.
But logic is what powers everything, somebody steals because they logically need it/need money because they are either addicted to the endorphin rush of stealing or because they need money/food to survive. It is ALL logical. even with extremely delusional people, they are either mentally incapable of processing thoughts and emotions or they are vulnerable to delusional thoughts, and the endorpin/dopamine rush which accompanies undergoing these (previously mentioned) acts.
People need to develop their own personal firewalls, their own "bullshit filters" of their minds, to keep the bad and illogical mess that is a seething sea of bad and illogical thoughts out there which we encounter every single day. Putting up with something and agreeing with it are both bad ways of going about this. Agreeing with it is the highest tier that you can go to, putting up with something is not as bad as agreeing with it but it is close enough that you can find yourself beginning to become deluded/believing the delusions. I tend to ignore/avoid doing both of these things, agreeing with something is when I've lost, putting up with something is that can be lived with but is tantamount to being brainwashed/tortured by somebody elses erreronous thoughts and must be "flushed" from your own mind periodically throughout the day or else you will begin to believe them.
As soon as you become practiced at it, your mind can become a very impenentrable fortress, however you can still agree to believe certian things which may or MAY NOT be true, it is up to the rest of your brain to come up with what the truth is, by using logic and observation of facts, and a thought process involving deduction. to ultimatley sift through the bullshit illogical fallacies and emotional jerkoffs which most people go through when transmitting information to someone else (talking).
The thing is about talking, it is a broadcast system, every ear within range will hear what that person is saying, but you do not necesserially need to agree with it, you can of course always just walk up to the guy and puch him in the face. But we all know that will incur a reaction from whatever happy-do-good cop wishes to run to their rescue.
