"人们想保护自己的虚伪；他们知道自己撒谎和操纵，但他们把自己的信仰说成是科学。"

Simplified Meaning:
People often don't want to admit when they're wrong or when they've lied. Instead of owning up to their mistakes, they try to make their false beliefs seem legitimate by calling them science. This means they use big words or pretend to be knowledgeable to make others believe their lies. Imagine a salesperson who knows their product is faulty but convinces you it's the best by using fake statistics and fancy terms. They're covering up their dishonesty by pretending it's based on facts. If you're aware of this behavior, you can be more careful and critically evaluate what people say, especially if something seems off. This way, you won't be easily tricked by those who hide their lies behind a mask of false knowledge.
