This reminds me of a quote by Voltaire (A very well known french philosopher from the age of enlightment, a must study in every french high school)

"Ceux qui peuvent vous faire croire à des absurdités peuvent vous faire commettre des attrocités."
which translates to :

Those who can make you believe in absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

He wrote that in 1765. He has been proven right since many times over.
