Reaction penalties. Seriously you can perfectly well have Delusion, know perfectly well other people consider it crazy and that you are spending a lot of time trying and mostly failing to convince them - the two problems that make a belief a disadvantage - and still do it.

A common example: you know most door to door missionaries never actually convert anybody, but if you can save just *one* soul from damnation from their false beliefs all those hours of effort and all the mockery from the unbelievers will have been worth it.....
