As for longevity, the religion of ancient Egypt lasted over 3 millenia, yet it is considered to be complete fantasy now by everyone including the modern inhabitants of that region. Mormonism is a legitimate religion now in the US and the adherents of Scientology definitely consider their beliefs to be religious, even though others call it a cult. But other religions have been dismissed as cults when they started eons ago only to grow into global powerhouses. The beliefs of Scientology are even more batshit crazy than the QAnon conspiracy. Yet we have been living with a lot of people who believe them to be literally true for some time now. It is quite fascinating when you consider it solely from a perspective of human psychology.
Then of course you are brought back down to earth when you see the real life consequences of it.
